Long ago, when I had my dark green Bombadil, I used Newbaum's green tape (sold by Riv) and amber shellac that I prepared myself. The color was gorgeous and it would have been a great match for the green Sackville bags. You can see a close-up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/4530205372/in/set-72157622958472288
Right now I've switched to Bullmoose bars on almost all my bikes and love the ergonomic PDW leather grips. However, for the last year+ I've been using honey Brooks leather tape and love it. Also tried the natural Berhoud tape and love how it looks. On my old pre-Riv days, the bar tape I preferred the most was the Fizik; in fact, when I got my AHH I first used Fizik tape on it.
