The Marathon Plus is the gold standard in flat protection. Gatorskins, Armadillos, Hardcases, etc are crap in comparison on that dimension and I say that as someone who's ridden 20K miles+ on each.

Having said that, the Marathon Plus is a heavy and slow tire that is hard to change. It's very resistant to glass shards, but no tire is flat proof.
