I've heard Schwalbe Duranos are great from these boards.

If weight is of no concern, Thickslicks are supposedly bomb proof.

I've also heard good things about the Panaracer's as well.

Gatorskins are also pretty good. I've had experience with Vredstein Fortezzas and I think they're great myself.

... I realize I probably haven't helped much, and I've probably just caused more confusion
