Another vote for the Michelin Pro2 and the Pro2 light. I've had both the Continental 3000 & 4000. YMMV, but for me the Michelin's have a better feel (smoother roll) and have been quite sturdy. I have the Pro2 on my Mavic Open Pros with PowerTap for training. I have the Pro2 light on my Bontrager X-Lites for when I'm going for the lightest weight. I also experience no visible wear on the rear from trainer riding. BikeTiresDirect have the Michelin's in a variety of colors.
Good luck!

Try not. Do or do not... there is no try.
