I've worn both boxers and briefs all my life, why not try a combination of the two?
Went with the Docker's brand based on reviews, and while I haven't tried other brands, I do say these fit pretty well, not too snug like most briefs tend to do, there's enough room where it actually feels like boxers.  What I do like is that this instead the stretchy spandex-y material, they don't hug your thighs (I'm on the thinner side so I have women's legs as my wife likes to joke) yet they don't constantly ride up the way boxers do.

One tip worth mentioning is when washing, use gentle cycle and let them air dry.  Did the machine wash/dry with my first pair, and they shrunk a bit.  I'm a 34 waist (though it could be a 33 but I don't like my midsection to feel squeezed) and I went with a pack of medium.  They fit fine as long as they don't shrink.  Once shrunken, while they are still wearable, they tend to be a tad too snug.
