Hilasons, and I love them. I know about 5 or 6 others with them too, and again, all love them.
I ride my drafty Haffie in one, and it is better than the tree'd saddle for balance, and on my QH the same plus it is so much more comfy for him.
We have the barrel saddles with flex trees too, three of them. They are great too... We have some hard to fit horses, and they have done great in them.
the barrel saddles have 17 and 16 in seats, and have a REALLY tall cantle, keeping you in place.
the skirt on ours are square, so they are long, but fit on my QH fine.
The thoughts I have are that the treeless (all of them) do not have much wither clearance, so that will be an issue... that is not the case with the barrel flex treed ones tho, they have lots of clearance.
On the barrel saddle, check the fittings if you get one, we do have one with the blevin buckle on backwards so it rubs the leather.
They are NOT high scale top of the line softest glove leather. but they do break in fine and ride great. They are worth the trial to me at least, and are very very comfy to me. Oh and they come up to very large seats btw.
