Thicker is not better for me. I like sheer, soft fabric that is light and moves with you instead of thick, heavy fabric that tugs against you pinching, pulling, and riding up. FTL make boxers in a 55/45 blend that is the lightest, most comfortable fabric for everyday wear. I have Hanes boxers in the same fabric blend, but they don't feel as nice when you wear them all day long. There is something about the FTL blend that makes them superior to the other brands in comfort, yet they are among those with the lowest price. Their patterns could be more imaginative as they are usually dark plaids.
