I've used Vittoria Rubino, Continental (4 Seasons, Grand Prix 4000, Gatorskins) and Schwalbe Durano Plus. None are rubbish.
The rubinos felt a bit slippery in the wet and had a couple of punctures, but were quite fast.
The 4 seasons felt heavier, with slightly greater rolling resistance, but were grippy and largely puncture proof.
Grand Prix 4000 are possibly the fastest, almost up to if not equal to 4 seasons in puncture protection, plenty of grip.
Schwalbe Durano Plus felt a bit cheap and thin out of the box, but perform like the 4 seasons but with maybe a slightly harsher ride quality.
