#1 most puncture resistant tire possible.
The Supreme's go in the other direction - prioritizing ride quality, then grip (not saying because I don't know if they're grippier than the plus's, just that the supreme's are very grippy even in the wet), weight, etc with good puncture protection, though not the same level as the Plus's.
Yes, you are very correct. I should have mentioned the trade offs.
