Which tire?

I want to get ready for when my Giant SL1 tires bite the dust and am looking at tires again.

I'm trying to decide between Vittoria Rubino Pro G+, Schwable One, Schwable Durano Race guard, Micheline PRO4 Endurance V2, and Michelin Power Endurance. I've used/using the PRO4 tire. The rear one I had only lasted 500 miles before I had a critical cut. The front one I've put around 1500 or more miles on it and it seems to be doing well with some cuts and nicks in it. I really like how the tires rode though, much better than the stock tires they replaced. The Durano that replaced it doesn't ride as nice, but has been holding up pretty well, but aren't as nice of a ride (still better than Specialized Espoir).

I mostly commute on decent roads with some debris, but no goat head thorns or anything like that. I would like a nice ride, but also don't want to be fixing a flat tire every couple weeks. I'm also thinking I would like to try some latex tubes. Inflating every morning isn't a problem, but inflating at the end of the work day too would be tiresome.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Any thoughts on these tires.
