Panaracer T-Serv Protex vs Conti Top Contact

I have ridden fixed with Panaracer T-Servs, Armadillos, Gatorskins, 4000's and 4 Seasons looking for the ultimate flat-resistant and light-wieght street tire.

Because of my weight, I have moved up to 25mm tires and plan to move up again to 28mm tires.

Given the amount of money I have spent on light wheels, I do not want to go past the 300 gram weight range.

Glass continues to cause most of my problems (slow leaks, no flats while riding), and I have narrowed my search down to the new Panaracer T-Serv Protex tires and the Conti Top Contact tires: the Panaracers for their new Protex shield (purportedly 3-times more flat protection than anyone else); and, the Top Contacts for their thicker rubber on the tread.

Who has experience with either or both of these tires?
