Seatposts have a few important characteristics:

• Securely hold your saddle in place.  In other words, set it and forget it.
• Help reduce the road vibration to your tush.
• Look good doing the two less glamorous tasks mentioned above.

The following are what we like to use on our renaissance bicycles:
