Evan, I've always liked the Damascus gloves. I have 2 pairs that I found as new-old-stock from the 70's that the leather is just as soft in as they should be. I'd go with the Mechanix as my second choice. I use the Mechanix everyday
I've had a few different kind both lined and unlined. If you want a lined glove, that's different. But after going through a few pair of unlined gloves, I saw a buddy wearing batting gloves one night. You can use an ink pen, feel everything when you pat someone down, work anything on a pistol, etc. with them. I ended up buying a pair of Easton gloves. For $15-20 at Academy, they perform great. And you can go to a local store and try a pair on to see if that's what you like.
I like the Oakleys and the Mechanix. I also have a pair of Icon motorcycle gloves that work pretty well for general tasks and shooting.
I have these:

Both are great gloves. I've been wearing the OR ones a lot lately, but I've had the Mechanix gloves for 2 years now.

I'm a big fan of the Hatch Operator gloves. At first I hated the reinforced knuckle, but I have grown to find it has alot of uses. The big thing I like about them is I don't have any loss of dexterity. I can still feel the trigger. I have found that the knuckle pad is great for support when shooting off of a barricade. I picked mine up new on ebay for 20, so I cant complain so far.
OK.
I rock the CamelBak intermediate cold weather glove and they are epic good in fairly cool weather ( ie I wore them qualifying when it was 11 degrees and I was fine) wear simple black Mechanix gloves I got from wally world for like 13 bucks when its nicer
I have Hatch kevlar lined search gloves that I never wear since they suck to put on quick.
I have 4 pairs of issue combat gloves and they work well too.

I agree with mechanix...I acutally use the tractor supply house brand and they seem just about as durable, and they are only like $10. I use them for all of my chores as well as shooting and I go through about 2 pair a year. I couldn't handle it if I went through that many gloves if they cost what some of the tactical gloves do.
I have some Icon motorcycle gloves, they are really good, but were really cheap either.
