You won't do better than Ergon grips.

I smacked my bike into a dry stone wall - the Ergon bar end kept me upright and was barely grazed.

Have a think about what size bar end you want, mine are the stubby ones which still give a choice of positions while looking a bit neater.

I'm not sure the longer one would give much more choice of position.

One thing all bar ends are handy for is manhandling the bike when you are off it.

To be honest the only reason I'm going for the GP5 version is because I can actually find them at a decent price. I agree that they're probably over the top but finding GP3's in a Nexus fit is nigh on impossible for a reasonable price. Have you any experience of the Biokork versions? I've found these..

The price isn't too bad but I've never heard of the company. Any thoughts?

No experience of the cork, mine are 100 percent petrochemical-based.

I always wear padded mitts, so don't worry much about grip material because I rarely feel it.

As I said, Ergon grips are excellent quality, so it's just a matter of picking the pair you like best.
