This x2.
Not saying the Airhawk is a bad cover/pad by any means. I actually had one on a previous bike, and it was very comfy!
A nice thick sheepskin cover also does a great job of spreading out the pressure on your tushy, but also allows you to shift around. Plus, like mentioned before, it has a nice insulating effect.
In the end it really just comes down to preference and riding style. I am constantly moving in my seat, either due to changing positions for riding needs, or to change my back alignment - I have a bad back with 1 surgery under my belt already. I found shifting around on the Airhawk to be laborious if not almost impossible. I felt locked in place, if that makes sense.
