Well, if you're talking mountain biking, I swear by the WTB Laser V Stealth. The Avocet 02 is strictly a roadie saddle -- way too wide for mtbiking.

I like the drop noses on WTB saddles so I don't spear my shorts on technical mounts. The padding is in just the right places. I don't have skinny thighs but I can get off the back on descents, etc., but the saddle is just wide enough for support when on a Xctry cruise.
