I'll need new tires for my touring bike, a 1993 bridgestone xo-2. The tire size needs to be right around 26 x 1.5 or 1.6. I'm mounting fenders on the bike and that's the tire size I'll need with fenders.

I'm considering two tires: (1) schwalbe marathon supreme touring 26 x 1.6; (2) panaracer ribmo 26 x 1.5. Any other tires I should be considering which you would recommend? Any issues with using these tires? I'm leaning towards the schwalbe but it's expensive so I'm looking at alternatives.
