On my Trek 720 commuter, I have Kenda Kwest K193 35-622 on the back and 28-622 on the front. Our tandem had Kenda Kwest K193 35-622 front and rear until the sidewalls wore out after ~4K miles, mostly commuting. Replaced them with Schwalbe Marathon 38-622. When the Schwalbes wear out, I am going back to the Kenda Kwest K193. My PDG70 commuter has a Kenda Kwest 40-559 on the back and a Nashbar City Slick 32-559 on the front. The Kenda 100 psi 32-559 is more than twice the cost of the Nashbar, and after more than 3K miles with the Nashbar on front and Kenda on back, I see no reason to change either until they wear out, and then it will be replace with the same.
I do run Sunlite TR tubes.
