I hate Armadillos. They're durable but I find them to be extremely sluggish.

Based on the pic, I would most likely replace that tire or at least stick a boot inside. Gatorskins are great but have crappy sidewalls.

If you're not stuck on using 23c tires, get some 25c Ribmos (which do run a little small).
