Note: this is not a recommendation and not a result of any scientific testing.
The following is my personal preference and can be ignored if needed. You asked,
I answered.

I do not wear traditional work gloves in my shop. I don't think I have ever
found a pair that fit well enough to allow me to work on boomerangs without them
getting in the way and actually becoming a hazzard instead of protection. I
think they have their place, but I would not use them in the shop sanding,
cutting or with the router. It's not that I don't own work gloves. I have 5 or 6
pairs including some nice leather ones. I use them for other work, just not in
the shop.


I used to wear latex gloves, mostly to protect my hands from getting dry and
chapped from the sawdust. About two years ago my dntist gave me a pair of
nitrile ones (the blue ones?) and I really like them. I have been using them
since.
