Haven't hit any big potholes but these things do build confidence ride after ride as far as flat resistance.But as you enjoy light feeling, speedy wheels on group rides, ect- I'm not sure if it's the way to go. Personally will likely swap them out next summer for similar activities. Ideally I'd like to have two sets of tires (Armadillo, and a racy tire) mounted on two sets of wheels, eliminating the need to peel them off the rims!
I have those "All Condition Elite" in 23mm size. They do get flat from road debris if I pump them over 7 bars. Rear one more often.
