Carbon, Aluminium or Titanium seatpost?

Am just in the process of having a titanium frame built primarily for comfort. It is a compact design & the dimension from top of saddle to top of seat tube is about 250mm. In order to maximise comfort what seatpost material would be best. I weigh 68kg & the post size is 27.2. Any recommendations for a post with about 20mm layback & micro adjustment?

I have a TI Van Nicholas seatpost (set back version) on my Mistral and its great and looks way cooler than carbon.0

I have a Titanium Enigma and have used Alloy and Carbon seatposts, absolutely no difference in comfort.0

If you can afford it Titanium all day long, then if you try it a couple of times and don't like it I'll have it off you on the cheap,
Good luck with the build, exciting times!

It will make no difference to comfort, go with what looks sexiest.
