I switched for the punture resistance, specifically against thorns. Being able to run lower pressure is a nice side benefit, but the roads are mainly nice around here and I was never heavy enough to worry about snake bites when I was using tubes.
I'm using Hutchinson Intensive tires right now, which are way better than the Fusion 5s I tried.
The setup isn't as difficult as people make it out to be. The first time takes a little while, but you learn what works and the following installs are pretty easy.
