Default Parachute Comfort

Given that I've got another 15-20 years of flying left, I was thinking of getting a new parachute since my current one won't last that long anyway and I might as well replace it and get a more comfortable one. ;-)

Of those sold by Strong, National, and Para-Phernalia, it appears that they are all perfectly functional, leaving the issue of comfort in the cockpit.

Other than the various models to pick from that fit your glider/body combination, is anyone knowledgeable about the comfort of the straps, strap pads, cushions, and general flexibility to help me decide which manufacturer parachute to buy?

Thanks
