I like Schwalbe Marathon, they are a std product for good commuter bikes, easy to fit and good value.
If you hate working on bikes and want to spend more money, the Marathon Plus version has much higher level of protection but is hard to fit and remove. You practically eliminate all punctures with M+.
Whichever you select, dont skimp on tyres, even on a cheap bike.
