I like deer skin because they are soft, supple and quite comfortable. Deer skin seems to be the most tactile for me. I can grip, pick up small stuff....it feels like a second skin.
I use deer skin for hiking and fall hunting.
Goat skin works great for me as a strong work glove.
I get my gloves locally from the Sullivan Glove company in Bend, Or.
