Commuting or racing/training? For me, not having to get covered in shit whilst repairing flats in the pissing rain outweighs any tyre feel advantage.
Once again, factor in @umop3pisdn weighs as much as Hoy's left leg so his durability statements need to be adjusted if you're a heavier lump of human.

I'm a 90kg sort-of sprinter - last year I got similar mileage to @skinny on my pave's. Bombproof until they go.. and then it's flatflatflatflatflatflat.
I did all of last winter on Paves, think I got 2 punctures? On really shitty Chilterns roads. For me an occasional puncture is worth feel + grip of a decent tyre over something more puncture resistant.
