I commute daily as soon as the temperatures get above freezing even if its raining so I want something thats more suited for harsh conditions rather than a race tire.
I wholeheartedly would recommend the Armadillos' if there is a Specialized dealer in your area. They are tough as nails. I have heard much good about Continental Gatorskins as well. You might consider going up to 700x25... Good luck and happy commuting!
