Bikes: See my sig...

Unless you have to deal with thorny terrain the basic Marathon will resist most things that try to penetrate it and give you a long service life, it is a heavier tyre and a little slower to spin up and I recently swapped the Marathons from my touring bike to Marathon Racers which are lighter, more supple, and as such they ride better and seem to roll out faster.

A Schwalbe tyre I really like is the Hurricane as it too has great puncture resistance and has an excellent rollout and hybrid tread that can take you anywhere... the set on my XC bike have 12,000 km on them and still look great and have never failed me.
