Unless you're racing and need multi-layer flame retardant gloves, gloves are just gloves. I prefer a very simple, lightweight lambskin palm and finger'd glove for autocrossing. Even when oily you get a nice, consistant grip on the wheel and shifter, and that's all I ever really go for. Not going for looks, not going for style, as I said before, gloves are a personal preference that depends on what you're more comfortable with.
