Depends on what you are doing, really, how heavy you are, what the roads are like where you live etc etc.
Don't get me wrong- the Open Corsa is a great tyre in the right conditions, I find however that they spin when there is a hint of moisture on the road and you need to get out of the saddle. This never gives me much confidence when pushing on through the turns on a descent with them if it's greasy, so I tend to drive Mrs Daisy.
I really like the Refuse as a good all-conditions training tyre, plenty of grip wet or dry, fairly light, fairly cheap, survived very well when I ran clinchers on my fixed and skidded everywhere like a child.
I'm running Veloflex Carbon tubs on the road bike at the moment and Sprinter Gatorskin tubs on the fixed commuter- but tubs are a different beast in many ways to clinchers.
