My favorite has been the Ritchey Tom Slicks. 26" x 1". They're the same width as my road bike tires and make you feel really fast compared to the old knobbies. You do have to switch to smaller tubes to use them though.
I figured wheels/tires would be easier to purchase, just because swapping tires every time we decided on a different type of riding would become a nuisance.
Both of our bikes are 2010 GT Avalanches. Rachel got the 3.0 Disc and I got the 1.0 Disc. They each have the "quick-disconnect" wheel system.
I'll check the links you provided. Thanks for sharing!
