Terry brand saddles can be tried out and if you don't like it you can send it back to Terry for a refund (or your shop will do it). I'm serious. Check their website...you can order right from it, too. Trouble is, they mostly make saddles for women.
They do make one or two men's saddles...i.e., longer and narrower. Some guys like the Fly (seriously, that is the name:)) and some like the Zero. I have used the women's counterpart of both, and like both, along with the Fizik Vitesse (also a women's sadddle, I think they make a men's counterpart). However, I don't know if that will tell you much.
My all time favorite saddle, when new, looked sort of like the current leather Brooks do now. I think the brand was Daniel Rebour, or something, and I got it over 20 years ago. It was leather with the metal studs. I see in hindsight it weighed a ton, but somehow I really liked ridiing it. I still have it on my townie bike. A broken in leather saddle is hard to part with.
