I ride with a GP4000S in the front and a Gatorskin in the back. Gatorskins are a bit heavier, but I like the flat protection. Prior to the Gatorskins, I got most of my flats in the back tire.
I did have one very nasty blowout with a GP4000s sidewall getting shredded when a sharp rock came my way - the rider in front of me ran over it and the rock popped up and sliced a 1/2" hole in the sidewall. It was a brand-new tire, too.
