The Durano Plus looks like a good option if you're willing to spend more for a better ride quality. FYI, the folding Gatorskin weighs 220 and 250g respectively in 23 and 25mm width. The Hardshell is 30-40g heavier. The Durano Plus looks like it's 120-130g heavier than the same size Gatorskin. I assume you're comparing wire bead to wire bead weights but most roadies get lighter folders if they're available.
