Thanks for posting OP, I will be tagging along on this thread for the same advice.

I currently have some worn down Maxxis Columbiere (700x32) that act like a sieve for sharp objects, and I am spending too much effort/money on patches and tubes.

My coworkers recommended the Specialized Armadillo (sp?) and the Hutchinson brand tires because of the Kevlar layer, but paying $40/$50 per tire seems pricey. But like they say, you get what you pay for, so I guess this decision is going to hurt the wallet or the fingers (from all the tube changes).
