23c vredestein fortezza's are still my absoulte favorite clincher tire i've used. they're responsive, long lasting, light, and tough for such a high performance tire in my experience.

I live in a Latin America City with lots of potholes. I also want a tire that can take going down curbs and a little bit of dirt maybe. Can a 700x28 deal with all this? Or should i go with 32?

I would get any 700x23c's your LBS has... I have 23's on my road bike and I do this unpaved 4 mile climb near my house with no problems. I would avoid gravel on city streets because there might be glass mixed in there.
DON'T get too much crap on ebay, it's usually not cheaper with shipping for something like that. And if you always get things on ebay, there won't be someone cool to help you out when you have problems.

these panaracers are great and they're only $10. and they smell awesome when you take them out of the box.
