I would like to get some opinions on what might be the best choise for tires. I have a trek 1600 and I would describe myself as a serious recreation rider. I typically ride 50 to 80 miles. The tires on the trek are Bontrager Race Lite 25 x 700 and I have had problems with puncture flats and tires being gashed by road debris. I am looking for a tire that has superior puncture resistantance.

The tires that I am leaning towards are the Continental Ultra Gatorskin and Bontrager Race X Lite Hardcase. I was hoping to get some opinions as to which tire might be best or alternatively have I overlooked perhaps a better tire.

Thanks for the opinions
