Like many here, I bounce back and forth between the standard Randonneur, which I would trust for really long trips, and the Pasela, which is great for us easy-rolling snobs, most notable for simulating a much higher TPI count that its (I believe) 66. I get enough kick from the great road feel that I am still a bit torn between these two options. The wire-bead Pasela is great value but without the TG option, carry patches/tube/crisp dollar bills. Haha, I never get tired of this topic.
