I love the look of the wood grips, but the factory aluminum grips feel the best. I'm personally not a fan of the E2 grips, but those with smaller hands might find them to be the most comfortable.
The P226 Crimson Trace grips I have are a little rubbery in feel which I don't like, however they do function flawlessly. It's just personal preference but I don't like rubbery feeling grips period. Those cheap rubber Hogue grips that some people like are the worst (my opinion).
If you're looking for a great feeling grip, go with the factory aluminum - they look great as well. If an lgs near you has the Elite Dark in stock, you can check out how they feel.
