Gators are lovely summer tyre for dry spins out in the countryside. They roll really nicely IMO, but they are bad in the wet and the puncture protection is pretty bad.
For hardcore puncture proof commuting tyre through the post apocalyptic glass strewn streets of London on a Monday morning I swear by Bontranger Racelite Hardcases.
A bit heavy, but they don't roll all sluggish like marathons etc.
They corner well, even in the wet, and they will not puncture.
