I like to build my own now.Beeing between small and medium made me sick. Even with a small glove the fingers were too long most of the time. I could not find the old style superglove anymore I was shooting for 8 years and the new tips are too thin compared to the original.
I can now make one in about one evening in front of the PC and it will fit 100%. I use only the best materials: kangeroo leather for the glove and real cordovan for the tips. Since I have sensitive fingers,too,especially in some areas,I armor my glove. I like stainless steel inserts between the tip and the glove leather. But old 3.5" floppy discs make real nice inserts,too. My glove is a mix out of a normal glove and one of those traditional one-seam on the back gloves. I have no seam where there is a string nearby.
I have about  $60 invested in the leather, but I will have enough for at least 5-6 more gloves(if I will ever need another one)
Yust my 3 cents...

I use a Black Widow pdq glove now, also i have a big shot glove that i like . When it comes to sensitive fingers the widow is a better fit for me. I say this only because i started shooting with a skookim glove i liked but i developed a calouse on my third finger.( This is not the gloves fault it is my release) So I switched to the big shot glove wiich i like but still had the calouse on third finger. When I started to shoot the Black widow glove it felt much like the big shot but it does have longer finger stalls. The calouse is gone since i have been shooting the BW pdq

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences.  I agree, a glove/tab is a very personal thing.  I've just got to find the one that feels right.  Thanks again.

Dura glove is not what you need for sensitive fingers. i used to use the Damascus and switched to Dura last summer: I noticed a BIG difference in being able to feel teh string more with the Dura--which I liked, but not for sensitive fingers!

hgsnpr,
You and I live in a traditional archery retail vacuum.  There are no places we can go and try some different gloves on for size, fit, comfort, etc. so mail order is all we have.

I love the Big Shot but when it came to replace it a month ago I bought a Barta Glove. Works just as good as the Big Shot at half the price.

Just got the Elk big shot from 3 Rivers. Let me just say it has improved my shooting immensely. Release is cleaner. By going to this glove I am able to shoot more weight comfortably without sacrificing form.

i too have sensitive fingers and they would go numb from shooting when i used a regular glove, but i switched to a big shot / full shot glove and love it, besides the nylon, underneath is a strip of neprene. no numb fingers.
