When I used a gel pad on my RS I liked it, but have not used the Air Hawk. I did find that going from pad to no pad every gas stopped made a difference too.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

I know you didn't mention this one but I've got sheep skin. Cool in summer and warm in winter. And it's only about a fourth of the cost!

SEAT PAD
I have used a sheepskin covered gel pad on my 08 GS, and now on my 2012 RT. together about 40,000 miles and like it a LOT. Today I tried an Airhawk air cushion, did not like as it seems to be a lot warmer on the butt, and not as comfy. Also, my gel pad has velcro strip holding it on the seat so I can remove it quickly to lock in fronk or whatever.

I must have a tough butt because I have never used anything on the spyder.

Airhawk with Alaska Leather sheepskin pad on top.

I like my air hawk, used it for years on a Harley too. You will notice that it raises you up slightly though.

I have a Corbin seat, Seal Floorboards, an Alaska Leather sheepskin/gel pad, and an earlier version of the Airhawk (not the R model). I flip the pads around depending on the pain of the moment. My adjustments have to do mostly with hip extension--sometimes need more/sometimes less. The pads give me the necessary height adjustment for the days ride. The Airhawk needs to be adjusted so you sit "IN" it, rather than "ON" it. Once you get past that, you should be good to go. No specific preference between the gel pad or the Airhawk--per your original question.

Airhawk R, the gel pads are not as comfortable as pure air.
