Looking for wide, durable tires 26x2.0 or larger

My Marin steel utility bike with 26" wheels and disc brakes will be getting e-assisted soon, and I want to change tires to something more durable so that hopefully I don't have to keep fixing flats. I'm currently running 26x1.5 Bontrager H2's, and they're AWFUL for flat tires. I've had at least 3 or maybe more flats on that one rear tire alone in the past year.

I see that there's an H2 "HardCase Ultimate" version in 26x2.0, but those go for $45+ each. I've been thinking more about the Schwalbe Big Apple, which come in 2.0, 2.15 or even 2.35 widths, and go for around $35-$40 for the ones with GreenGuard 3mm protection layer.

Any other wide 26" tire recommendations for e-bikes?
