Avoiding punctures is futile, but having a well trusted kit for multiple punctures on a ride and a good routine when you get one helps I reckon.
This is the best I've managed.
Avoiding fragile tyres or tyres with a sticky tread which picks up debris is a good start (especially the latter). But the flipside to this is the roads around here are in dreadful condition, there's always sharp flinty stuff as a result and there's always broken glass. You can't avoid it all, so you might as well go out prepared.

Schwalbe tyres are ugly, heavy and pretty good at protecting the inner tube. I never tried Marathons, but there is so much good written about them regarding puncture protection.
