I wear regular underwear and whatever pants for anything under 50 miles, and will think it through a bit more if I'm going for 80+. I did a 3.5 month tour using MUSA shorts (and a pair of pants too) and a mix of wool boxer briefs and regular cotton boxer briefs. I was averaging 70 miles a day, with my longest days in the 135 mile range, and was using a Brooks B17 saddle, fairly broken-in. I'd use the exact same equipment if I were to do it again.
