I am using tufo S22's - not the lightest nor fastest for races but durable, well holding and long lasting for daily riding. I have 9 skid spots in my current setup and used to have 19.
I do not see how locking the wheel by skidding (unweighted rear) is any worse for the tire than locking the wheel with brake. With brake you short faster ergo the forces on tire are greater.
