I've had both the Nike's shown above and the Harbingers ... the nike's are nice and thin, but they have a tendency to rip (I had the exact ones posted above). They also don't provide much of a wrist support. The seam on them that ripped on both my gloves was the seam that connects the inside palm of the glove to the thumb.

The Harbingers are very nice, and I can actually lift a bit more (when I started out) with them on because they help support my wrists (especially when doing chest press with dumbbells). Problem with the habingers is that the material is very thick (so it's very durable) but it can bunch up, and make little folds that hurt like a bitch with a heavy dumbbell pushing it into your skin. Harbingers are way more durable though! Mine are still going strong after a year of on/off use.
