That's very individual, but generally the more expensive shorts will keep you comfortable for more miles.

I still haven't found quite the right ones, but my Pearl Izumi Elite shorts are probably at the top of the list right now. The longer cut ones should minimize the sausage leg. I'd like to try the LG Neo Power shorts, but they're a little spendy for me right now.

I also want to try the LG Neo Power shorts, but too much money for me too I did just look up the Gore shorts and they have a pretty wide price range and are looking the least hideous to me at the moment...I'm riding the STP this summer so I'm going to have to bite the bullet at some point on price, and I'm guessing after 200 miles and seeing the beer garden at the end, I'm not really going to care a whole lot about the short stocky sausages I'm walking around on. There are other ones from LG though as well that don't have the leg grippers...how important are the grippers really?

I have a pair of the LG Neo Power shorts and love them. They are great for longer rides. They also fit a little longer than some other w's shorts, but also they run smaller, so keep that in mind.

I also have some of the PI Pro Series shorts. They are also comfortable, but the LG's win out over them in the end. However they are shorter and the fit is more true to size.

I find that spending the money on a good pair of shorts is well worth the money if you can swing it. They last longer and will keep you riding in comfort longer.

I have a Scott shorts that squeeze my thighs and they are shorter than my other ones. Also as somebody already mentioned: Craft have nice comfortable models with wide line at the end.
I envy men, they look so cut and shredded in their shorts. We have to have totally fat-free legs not to have the sausage effect.

My thoughts exactly! Again, men are getting off easy. "Nice thighs bro...what'd you have for lunch??? Fried chicken??" Not fair. hahaha!!
