What I've ended up with is: when there's not going to be a lot of walking, briefs or nothing, depending on the style of kilt, but if there is going to be a lot of walking, then it's briefs and body-glide.
I agree that sweat is a factor. Basically what I have discovered through testing is that I chaffe almost instantly when wearing briefs, after a few hours either regimental or in regular boxers and never (at least not yet) in boxer briefs. And I have spent 12 hour days working outside in 95 F 95% humidity weather sweating like a pig. I am good for about 6 hours with body glide.
