+1 for the hardcases.
-1 for the Contis. I have had a few of them and they gave me frequent problems.
+1 for armadillos if you don't care about rolling resistance and weight.

I have a friend that had his contis fail too frequently and is trying a Vittoria tire. I can't remember which one but it has a green strip. Looks to have potential.
