There is a 3rd possibility. Riding farther to the left (if you don't already do that). All the road junk (bottles/wires etc) that cause flats seems to collect on the shoulder by the edge of the road. If you ride about 3 ft into the road (the outside edge of the right tire-mark) you will greatly reduce the amount of road debris you have to dodge, and give you more room to dodge it.
