I wear low rise jeans because the majority of stuff in the trendy stores features it, and I have to wear store merchandise -- at least as far as jeans go. Truth told, low rise jeans work for me because I'm tall and lean and they sit right on my hips and I don't feel like I'm swallowed up in them. Low rise jeans tend to feature a slimmer leg, sometimes a straight leg and often a boot cut on the ends.
I have two that rank among favorites.
The Lucky Hendrix came out about a year or so ago, and it was a big hit because it was a medium-shaded denim jean with a low rise, button fly, and a straight leg.
The Guess Falcon is probably my favorite this season from my store. It's a super low rise (which honestly is about an eighth of an inch lower than your low rise), slimmer leg and a boot cut. I really adore it. It's very, very comfortable.
Otherwise...
The Guess Caliber and the Guess Rebel fit comparatively. Both feature a straighter leg than the Falcon boot cut, and the Rebel fits a little bit tighter across the waist/hip than the Caliber.
The Dean and Cliff are easy fit. Definitely no scrunching, shrinking, crowding, but you don't get as much flattering shape to these jeans.
The current guy trend jeans are tending toward extremism. Fashion designers this season think that most guys fall into one of two camps: slimmer, leaner, sleeker, and wanting some tightness; and then, just everyday, casual, easiness in the pants. While regular fits are still available, the true fit (how they feel when tried on) suggests a simple disguise as an eased jean.
Low rise jeans look good on leaner guys of course, but it generally does a good job of slimming your legs and making your upper body look bigger in comparison. (That wouldn't hurt me much.) They give you more of a torso and a good vertical line. Actually, slimmer fitting and boot-cut jeans tend to compliment most figures across the spectrum. Long and lean is increasingly in, and guys tend to tell me that they like that it sits on their hips well.
Of course, if you've got well developed thighs or a square or wide build altogether -- no, they won't work.
Guys like me generally have a hard time finding jeans that fit our smaller waists and our legs. I'm a 28-29x32. Waists that run my size often feature short (30), as opposed to regular (32) inseams.
If you still have difficulties fitting low rise jeans, like it or not, it doesn't hurt to go one to two inches above on the waist. Guys' hips generally don't protrude as dramatically as a woman's, and that added inch or two will give them a great sitting spot. My Falcons are 30x32 and they fit extremely well.
My bulge likes 'em too so long as I wear boxer briefs, but that's just a smart fashion decision for anyone who flirts with low rise. Unfortunately, you just have to try on jeans to know for sure. Rebels, like I said fit similarly to a Falcon, but I absolutely mashed my junk in them. I think it's because the front rise (crotch area) is shorter in proportion to other slim-fit low-rise types. Of course, that same effect will situate your dick front and forward and accentuate it. Oh well, if you can get comfortable I suppose...
Really, this long-winded info session was just a preclude. I just wanted to express a thumbs up for low rise because it sits well on the hips, and if your jean line stops there, naturally, your dick is going to stand out a bit more. I haven't had too many unreasoned boner incidents, thankfully, but I can definitely recall it feeling tight in there for reasons probably not having too much to do with whatever I'm wearing.
