I agree with Bob, oh oh now I'm in trouble! But Fizik is the best I've found too, it cleans the easiest of any tape I've used, it doesn't get slick when wet, it can be bought with middle of the road thickness and cushioning as Bob pointed out, and it comes a wide variety of colors.
Although clear packaging tape doesn't hold up as well as even the standard electrical tape most people use when it gets repeatedly wet (or sweat), instead I use black (comes in white too) Gorilla tape, this stuff will last a very long time in fact a lot longer than electrical tape, and it's a bit thicker then the others as well giving it more of a similar match in thickness, plus it has a very slight pattern to it instead of glossy smooth. Of course with clear tape it means you don't have to scream because black or white tape won't match your bar tape. 3M also makes a range of colored tape but it won't stick as well as the Gorilla tape, but you stand a better chance of finding a color match if you're into that sort of thing. You can for an added twist, and have an unusual look, which will outlast any tape is to finish the ends with hemp (and only hemp, anything else won't work) twine, you can google it to see how to do that if you're interested, you can then, once you twined it, is to shellac it which darkens the twine, and you can get it darker the more shellac coats you put on to match light or dark bar tape better, it gives your bike a more natural look which a lot of people like these days not to mention a conversation starter, again google that as well.
My thing is why would someone buy a $1,500 plus bicycle and put cheap looking black electrical tape or clear packaging tape on it?
