needing to replace the old tape, which is Spesh 4.5mm gel phat tape.

Same again or any other reccomendations ?

Always found the thick phat stuff a bit bulky, so may go for the 2.5mm gel if sticking with Spesh.

what else is good and comfy

I like Deda padded tape. I've used Phat tape with the gel pads thinking it would dampen road vibration. I liked it intially but found the tape would migrate along the bars exposing the gel padding. I then began to dislike the squidgy feeling of it. I switched back to simple padded tape and like it a lot more.
