Conti tires

Is there a long lasting and puncture resistant continental tire? My understanding is that the Schwalbe marathon tires have all of these features but I would like to ride a 700cx42mm tire and they are not available.

Actually would like to ride the 45mm tires (for heavier loads and softer ride) but according to the Surly web site I will not be able to use fenders with this size tire on the Disc trucker.

Any other brands in 42mm that have the same qualities I am looking for? Also, has anyone used fenders with 45mm tires on the Disc trucker...maybe I can have the best of everything if the 45mm tires fit with fenders.
