Ultra sports are the absolute worst worst worst tire ever.
I've never tried Speediums, but I always assumed they must be garbage.
Gatorskins are great, and last forever. I almost never flat with Conti Gatorskins.
I currently use a Michelin Krylion on the rear and a Michelin P3R on the front. I feel like this is the best of both worlds (puncture resistance and fast). I flat maybe 1 or 2 times a year.
I have a pair of Lithions sitting around, which are a grade above Speediums in the Michelin hierarchy, but I have yet to try them. I heard they are reasonably good.
I almost never skid, BTW.
