Cycling Shorts recommendation

Hi all, afer trawling through a plethora of threads and perusing a million different types of lycra shorts I have to say I am a little bewildered by the choice on offer.

Really, all I want to know is which brands offer the very full padding and which are more sparse. I tend to get pretty sore after 40+ miles, so would be looking for more padding rather than less.

Would be looking to spend about £30-£50. I guess Endura or the Nike shorts seem like the best option at the moment, can anyone speak from padding experience??

Thanks...

• cue lots of jokes about lycra - will be wearing them under baggies for the record!
