I've been running the Gatorskin hardshells for the last 5 years and my experience with flats has been very positive, particularly considering how much construction debris has been present around here. One of my co-workers has been running Marathon Supremes and he is very happy with them and their tested rolling resistance is less than the GS.

The Conti Grand Prix 4 Season reviews are impressive, I'm going to try a set when my current tire treads wear thin in a few thousand miles.
