I agree--you should wear whatever is most comfortable on you. Don't worry too much about the 'compression' aspect. I find that compression gear has never truly optimized my performance.

I recently ordered the Hincapie Metric Short and tested it out last week. I really like it! I wore it on a 50-mile ride (with one long stretch with cobblestones) and was very comfortable.
