I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to tyres.
I've ridden schwalbe one 25mm clincher on pacenti wide arse rims. Back to back With my Pave tubs on wide alu tubular rims. The tubs just felt nicer. Not loads in it. Paves have noticably stiff sidewalls. But if a pave tub felt nicer on a comparable Wheel. A softer tub would win hands Down.
I seem to have a lot of bad Luck With clinchers too. Tubs + a can of sealant, is a far better set up for me.

Anyone tried out the G+ Vittoria tubs yet ? Wondered if they're any more durable than the older Corsa Evos
Tempted to get a tub wheelset for my posh bike as I really like the ride of a supple tub.
However I've had poor reliability from Vittoria tubs in the past - the old 320tpi Corsa Evos got cut to shreds by glass after 300miles. Used Conti Sprinters and Sprinter Gatorskins and they're much more reliable, but to be honest I can't really tell them apart when riding from a clincher.
Also, now most tyre/wheel companies are moving to larger tyre and rim sizes, I'm not sure I'd notice the difference between a supple tub and a 25-28" clincher at lower pressure to be honest.
