depending on how tightly you wrap the tape will depend on how much support you get.  I have found that tape is more comfortable then the wrist wraps you mentioned.

I've tried both and I feel the tape is more comfortable. It gives me a little more flex, but still enough support for my wrist. It also doesn't sweat like when using the brace. Genesis makes a trial pack with 4 strips I believe if you want to give it a try.
