I've had good luck with the Megamium. It's a very long-wearing tire that rides surprisingly well for an inexpensive tire that's designed to be tough. Good puncture resistance as well. $20 is close to wholesale on that tire.

I have never heard of that model. probikekit.com sells Pro Race 2s for $27 each (shipping included). I would be inclined to go for those. The price will be similar after you factor in Nashbar's shipping cost, and the Pro Race 2s are very nice tires with a very good reputation.

for the rear wheel:
Vittoria Randonneur
double layered tread lasts for months // extra, directional traction for rough pavement
a but heavier but a bit sturdier...can push 'em to 100 pounds // not pricey at $23-$28
