On the road bike I use some Nike fingerless gloves which sell for $25 at the LBS. They're all black, thin and stretchy on top with a velcro closure and well padded on the bottom.

I started using Pearl Izumi Gel Lites for road rides but I felt like I needed something more cushy. (The full finger version of the Gel Lites is still my top choice for mountain biking.) They're kind of expensive, but I always got them on sale from R.E.I. or on eBay.

Have any of you tried PI's Carbon Pittards gloves? They look nice and cushy...
