I'm really happy with the 'Slime' tire liner tape. I use the MTB width in my road width tires to get lots of sidewall coverage. Even does for a good temporary patch on tears in both sidewall and tread (at 100psi).
Double layer on my Bromton underneath Marathon Kevlar just because it doesn't come smaller than 26". Sure it weighs a bunch, but I really can't remember the last time I punctured (probably about 8 months ago) and I'm regularly picking chunks of glass the size of small children out of my tires. (I prefer Stelvios but the shop was out when I needed new tyres last)
Very unhappy with the kevlar felt stuff (I think it was Specialized brand)- didn't seem to make much difference at all (wasted money on this stuff first before getting the Slime liners).
