I started out by the using various Bontragers my LBS sold me. I wasn't happy - and tried Kenda. Not happy. I went with a few latex tubes as well - very expensive, and I found them to be unreliable and had some spectacularly loud blowouts.

Then I went to Continental. Happy! They're fairly light - if not the lightest - but they seem to be more puncture resistant, and they lose less air between rides than all of the others I've tried.
