I've taken a no-padding approach for my cotton bar tape for the last several years. I think I prefer the smaller diameter. It seems I get more finger wrap-around and more grip with less squeeze. So maybe my hands are more relaxed. Just a theory. It was cloth tape exclusively on my drop bars, but now that I've migrated to albatross bars on my bikes, I have cork or Ergon grips with cloth tape (no pad) on the forward bends. It seems to work well for me.
