Most comfortable Simpsons Handle

I have no comfort issues with any of them, really. Light touch for me.
I do find the Commodore is pretty ergonomic and I love using the Tulip shape.

My favourite at the moment is the M7 which I slightly prefer to the M6. I enjoy the Chubby 1 and Duke 3 which are very similar and prefer them over the Chubby 2 which for me is just a bit too large. I find the Major awkward to use when it is assembled so I normally use only the small top part, in the style of a Wee Scot, which I also enjoy very much.
PJ, AS3M, Tulip and Keyhole.
I enjoy all of my Simpsons and find the handles uniformly comfortable. My current stable includes:
Tulip 2 and 3
Duke 2
Chubby 1
57
Wee Scot
Tulip 2 and 3
Duke 2
Chubby 1

Keyhole for me.
Commodore is the most ergonomic handle I've used, from any brand!
Hi, I find the major handle my favourite! Longer and very tactile. Majors a superb brush.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have a Chubby 2, Duke 3, M7, and a Harvard. I like the M7 and Harvard, the Duke and Chubby are similar in shape to me and not my favorite handles. However, in terms of knot and color scheme I really like my chubby 2. I was debating on adding a Colonel in Manchurian but the knot is only 21 so I was exploring other handles. The benefit is it is way more affordable.

If you like a longer handle then you might consider a 58. I really enjoy this handle but my example is lofted far too high for my taste; I never use it and plan to move it on next year.
For me, a tie between the Eagle and Keyhole.
For badgers I prefer short stubby handles that are easy to manoeuvre, hence Chubby and Duke Series. For synthetics my vote goes to the Trafalgar Series.
I've had 8 Simpsons in Best and enjoyed them all. I still have 2, a Rover and Duke 1. My favorite Simpson handle is the Rover (with a denser knot). A close second was a 56, which I gave to a relative some years back.

I like the longer handles - the Keyhole and 50-series are my favorites. In a shorter handle, the Tulip.
I would agree with these choices. Specifically the Duke 3, Chubby 2 and both the Trafalgar T2 and T3 handles
Tulip is best for me. Colonel is nice to hold too. And the Major M1 is very comfortable with the wide cylinder handle.
My shelf says eagle and duke. I'd put my lone rover slightly ahead of the duke. I'd like to acquire a tulip but fortunately they rarely if ever appear in two band and lord knows I'm not going to special order one 
Duke 2
Chubby 3 is the most realistic for my current preferences of larger handles, larger knots. Havard 6 gets an honorable mention too. Size up any of the Simpson handles if they're small and they could work though.
