Plainly, there is no 100% correct answer that suits everyone on earth.
And, no one tire is 100% puncture and cut proof.
So, it is a balance of what best fits your needs.
For myself, and I alone, I prefer a more robust tire that will withstand riding through a debris field of broken glass and not even leave a small cut on the thread.
Of course my vision, depth perception, color blindness and poor contrast makes my choice of a touring tire make sense. I am not avoiding flats like most of you.
I've seen firsthand how a cut sidewall will spew sealant and not seal.
