Specialized Tires...Nimbus

OK I had enough. Recently purchased a set of WTB Slickasaurus tires for my bike (26x1.5). Since it's been raining off and on here in SoCal I havent had a chance to put a lot of miles on them. But, when I have had the chance to ride I got 3 flats in less that a 100 miles riding. I'm done with them. A friend said to go with Specialized Nimbus Ex tires. He never complains about flats so I figured I'd call the LBS and get a quote. They are an authorized dealer so I figured this guy knows what he is talking about. Turns out this guy says go with the Bontrager tires instead. When I mentioned the flak jacket protection with the Nimbus he said it really doesn't help much if anything. What gives? Any suggestions? Need something that will not puncture or pinch so easily. Also, I will run about 80 psi on them. Thanks
