tough tire

I can get the gatorskin tire for a fairly reasonable price. The question is how tough it really is. Over the course of 3 weeks, I've had two leaks due to a damn nail penetrating the tire, on separate occasions. They happened in completely different parts of town, so either it's just my luck, or this town just sucks

Either way, how good is gatorskin with nails on the ground? And would it be worthwhile to get it on my commuter, as well as my good/touring/racing bike? It's just the idea of suddenly pouring $80 into two sets of bike tires...
