Larger tires can generally be a bit more comfortable over small bumps .... but puncture resistance is unrelated to size. You can get a tough, heavy, unyielding skinny tire or a soft, supple fat tire.
I generally prefer a tire liner and a softer tire. As far as I know there is no cure for goatheads .... in fact, that might be a really popular thread.

The brakes are long-reach.
The Tektro R317 Brake will provide you with strong, rigid performance thanks to its forged aluminium construction and high power dual pivot mechanism. Due to its long 47-59mm of adjustable reach, the R317 caliper is ideally suited to touring bikes or bikes with larger tyre sizes.
Here's a pic showing the clearance. Do you guys think 32s will fit? Or maybe 28s with a fender?

But the rear may not fit, it totally depends on frame geometry. The brake bride needs to be set high enough and there needs to be clearance on the chainstays near the bottom bracket.
just wait for the bike to arrive, measure the potential contact points, and you will have your answer. Remember- you need space between the frame and tire for dirt, debris, etc to not get trapped and potentially scrape or stop you.

yes they are long reach and it would be worth trying to fit 32s in the fork.

Sweet bike, just so happens earlier in the spring I pulled the trigger on a small-size Jamis Ventura for $200 (!!) from Velomine; my wife wanted to upgrade. Smooth transaction, although I will say that the bike needed a bit of a once-over once it was out of the box, just wheel bearing adjustments, more grease for the headset, etc. That kind of stuff. She loves the bike, and it performs flawlessly. The only thing I replaced right away was the 12-25 cassette; lots of hills around here, so a bump up to a 28t cassette was a no-brainer.
Enjoy, would love a modern steel bike in my quiver at some point!
