Guys/Gals I need Help Semi Slick Question

First of I would like to say I am 6'3" and 340 pounds. My mountain bike I bought last summer is a "L" Giant Rincon. My mountain bike Knobbies have been great. Since Last summer I lost 30 pounds and am riding about 50 miles a week. I want to step it up a bit. With that said I would like to go to a semi slick tire. I do mostly road riding now and hardpack campground/state park trails. Even with a road tire I think it could handle the trails I ride on. With that said I am very concerned about semi slicks because of the possible flat factor. I went to my LBS and they had Kenda Kross for 20 each. They seemed nice and the gentleman at the LBS said they will do just fine with my Weight. All flats have to do with road/trail debris. any advice on a nice Semi-Slick?? thanks for the help guys/gals.
