a sherril edge or an ergolite would be my choice for a saddle for doing removals same comfort as a regular ergovation but lighter for spurs i would get ones that have twisted and contoured shanks with steel inserted pads. I like geckos but cannot justify price when what mentioned previous are just as comfy for me at half the price. I would also get set up with a hitch climber pulley or similar if you tie in for your removals as apposed to just spiking up and down
