In my opinion width is everything. For a small weight penalty you get increased lateral stiffness, but more importantly you get more tyre volume, and can drastically reduce your PSI without fear of pinch flats.
The Velocity P35 is 35mm wide and comes in loads of colours. Its pretty tricky to source in the UK though. The Salsa Gordo is has similar dimensions but is only availible in black AFAIK.
I have Velocity blunts at the moment, and these give a good balance of lightweight, strength, and width. My next rims will likely be P35s though.
