Nubs -- both for looks and feel.

Thanks for your help! I just ordered a set of the Avon Air Cushion Grips (with nubs and tacky). Based on the poll, it was the winner!

I went to the indie shop near Waco today and saw some that I liked and most were under $50.

Tacky nubs are the way to go.
The first ride may make your hands a bit sore but every ride afterwards will break them in nicely (both your hands AND the grips).

I have the nubby style on my wide glide and the smooth on my road king, I see no difference.
