If you are commuting then try the Conti Contact 700c28 road tire. Great winter tire. Specialized Armadillo tires are pretty bullet proof and I would go with a 25 or 28 in that tire. If you are racing the Conti GP 4000 (replacement for the GP 3000) are very tough with the vectran and high TPI count. If racing then use the heavier tire for training and GP4K for race day.
