For price, aesthetics, and durability, I think Schwalbe Delta Cruisers can't be beat. Panaracer Col de la Vies are also swell, but since they are just a tad wider can cause some fit issues with old Raleighs.
I've been using Kendas without any problem for a while now. I like that they are plain black without any colored lettering or reflective strips. I have some that are well over 2 years old and I don't see any cracks in the sidewalls. I do wish they sold the brown version here in the US.
