which tires to get?

My trek 470 Fast Trak needs some new tires. I am looking for a 700x25 or 700x28 tire that is atleast somewhat flatproof, but still lightweight. I can get a good deal on some 28mm armadillo's, but I hear those are heavy. Currently I have 700 by 25 tires, and do not want to get tires that will make the bike any slower. I also dont want to spend more than $30 per tire. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

get the armadillos if you don't want flats. No reason to be a weight weenie, specially on THAT bike.
