I carry stuff to fix a flat, tire boots, a pocket knife, and this awesome set from Topeak (easily my most used tool - it is perfect for installing water bottle cages, amongst other things)
TopeakŪ Cycling Accessories ? Products - Ratchet Rocket? Lite, 10 bits, zip ties and a roll of electrical tape.
If I have something more major happen that I can't easily fix on the road, I'll just call someone to pick me up.

I would highly recommend Schwalbe Marathons when replacement comes due. I have only had maybe two (one for certain and I just feel there should be one other to make it believable) flats due to debris since I started using marathons over 13,000 km ago. Well worth the money to not have to change flats. I have worn more rims than flats come to think of it.
