I have to say that I've given up on using lavs. They don't sound as good as a boom, and like you said there is invariably clothing noise. And I've used Sanken COS-11x lavs wired to an SD 302 mixer, so I've given the lav every benefit of the doubt.
Like all gear, it is just not a case of simply having "the best", but also HOW you use it! Lav placement is absolutely crucial as is using the right accessories with it.
