I like this type of tape. It doesn't offer much in the way of shock absorption, but it lays down nicely and has a nice selection of colors.

I have bad news for you since I've tried all of them except for Giant and they vary from ok to terrible. Riderace is the worst by far: hard, slippery and wears out fast. You can instantly tell it's shit once taken out of the box. Bucklos is quite similar to riderace, maybe a bit softer. Supafake is ok initially, soft and grippy but it wears out really fast. I've went through 2 sets in a span of a few months and moved to the original supacaz gravel which is pricey but after riding it for a whole season I can see what i've paid for
