So I took a ride out to the Black Hills and back and realized that I need a different seat as the stock seat ended up doing all but rattling my brain completely out of my head. (ok, not that bad but it was actually a little painful). I'm wondering what companies make aftermarket seats for our bikes. Any info is appreciated.

Corbin seems to be a popular choice for members here.

Any other seat choices other than that? That's the only one I've found so far.

I'm finding that the after market selection is not good. Find a good local upholster to create the seat you want. The price is about equal.
I'm getting ready to build a princess pillion pad on my 07 BA for $175.
The price should be about the same for the rider's seat, $50 alone for the gel insert. So the princess pad with out gel is $125.
I want to have the seat built up on each side by 1" and dish it to mime the riders seat. The problem is finding matching material.

$175 is priceless if I don't have to hear...
If your single, this is a different story.

I posted directions on how to do a gel insert in the stock seat. It includes covering the gel with memory foam to finish it. It is a very cost effective solution and comes out looking stock since you remove the stock cover hollow out the foam for the gel and fill back in then put the stock cover on again. The materials were available on Ebay last I looked.

I have a stock solo seat which I liked, but I removed it in favor of a low profile seat. I refer to my new seat as the wooden fist (not too comfy) but it looks awesome!
