I would recommend neoprene.  When the horse starts to sweat, the effect is to 
act as a lubricant under the neoprene.  I use a waffle-weave Wintec girth, 
with elastic in the girth itself.  Have never had a girth gall.  I have, 
however, seen a fleece girth that was dirty gall a sensitive skinned horse so 
bad 
that after one ride she had gashes about 8" long on both sides, with the skin 
just hanging.  If you keep the fleece very clean, this should not be a problem, 
but if it gets dirty, it can cut like a razor.  I also don't like the girths, 
neoprene or waffle weave, that have a bound edge on the sides, it just doesn't 
seem like it would be comfortable.  jeri
