I'll second this, but add the comment that they are
expensive. Wonderful tire to ride though, smooth and grippy.
No tire is going to be totally flat free, unless you go for a solid, and those are heavy, uncomfortable, and not very grippy. I would say either the Marathon Plus, or the Supreme, depending on exactly where on the flat resistance/speed curve you wan to be. If they are not available locally, other manufacturers have near equivalents. If your area is subject to rain, don't forget to allow for fender spacing when you size the tires.
And welcome to cycle commuting, soon it will be an addiction!
