+1 on Panaracers. Love my Panaracer Pro-Tex T-Serv's 35mm for a front tire. Still favoring Vittoria Randoneur Pros for rear tires. Those can often be found for sale (Nashbar etc) for right about $35 a piece.

I weigh a bit more than you, and have had great success with the tires I listed above. With our weight, I like a stiffer sidewall and so prefer the Vittoria (at 90 PSI) in the rear while the Panaracer up front excels at gripping the road and has a little more give for vibrations and impacts, I run it at 75 PSI.
