What do you all think is the best MTB slick

Weight, rollability, puncture resistance etc etc

I tend to ride conti avenues 1.3 or vred s-slicks for the ride but they dont last too long.

A 26 x 1.5 slick is the best for commuting.

Performance, as Junebride states, is a good bet. I have also heard very good things about Ritchey Tom Slicks.
