Depends on the rods and their usage.
rods I'm holding and need sensitivity, I like cork.
Trolling rods I like carbon fibre handles. They clean up great and don't get torn up getting pulled in and out of rodholders.
Big saltwater rods have slick butts and foam grips.
Ultralight rods have spit grips, cork with no foregrip.
flyrods better have cork or I'm not touching them.
