Saddle choice and setup is as personal as love, so I offer this FWIW. But my experience is that tilt is as crucial to comfort as height and sit bones and fore/aft position, and that a bad position will have to sliding forward to put excessive weight on shoulders, arms, and hands.
I've tried the following Brooks saddles, at least one of each, with some, multiple iterations. B 17 B 17 N Pro Flyer B 67 The situp-and-beg model like the B 67 but without the springs Also: Sugino Belt Ideal of some sort, at least 1 if not 2 of these. For all of them, I found that tilt was crucial to comfort (and I'm not using "crucial" in any sly secret way), far more so than with any other of the many other makes and models I've used. I found that, on road bikes, the Pro was the most comfortable; the B 17 and even B 17 N chafed. But while the Pro was comfortable in butt and thighs, I could never get the tilt right, and this was even after I invested in an infinitely-adjustable-tile post -- forget name -- that had an easily rotated tilt separate from the fore/aft adjustment. The Pro was as comfortable, tilt apart, as the original issue Flites I now use, but I could never get it adjusted just right to avoid sliding forward and getting goosed.
