I've been using two tires I'm very pleased with. On my tourer/commuter I'm riding Marathon Supremes. At 35mm, they're a very supple ride. They don't have the blocky wooden feel if the regular Marathons. I put about 300 miles on them pre tour this summer, 2,000 miles on the tour and probably 250 since. No flats. They're pricey, but if you shop around you can find them for around $40 each.
On my go fast bike I'm riding 25mm Vittoria Corsa G+. GREAT feeling tires. Soft, grippy. One flat in probably 1,500 miles on those this summer. You can pick up a two pack for under $65.
