schwalbe tires vs gatorskin or hardshell

I'm currently running 25 mm schwalbe durano plus tires on my commuter, with around 1300 miles on it so far. The texas roads suck pretty bad. I'm actually really worried about those wire things. My duranos have a thick wall, but they seem pretty susceptible to those wires. I'm pretty sure I have at least 2 lodged in there in the rear tire right now. They're just not poking the tube right now. My commute is 20 miles each way, and I don't want to be fixing a flat on the highway. I've seen mixed reviews about conti hardshell and gatorskin. Some say they never flat with them. Some say they're not as good as the gp4000's. I'm only looking to replace the rear tire, because that's where 90% of my flats happen.

What say you?
