Another option to increase minor puncture resistance a bit on whatever tires you ride (probably more relevant on the supple end like Compass Tires or non-TG paselas): put an oz or so of tubeless sealant into your tubes. Increases weight by a negligible amount. Most easily done with presta valve tubes with a removable core, although Schraders are removeable as well.
