I ran Continental Gatorskins for a long time, and found them to be pretty good, and fairly bulletproof for touring and fitness riding. I've been runnig Vittoria Rubino Pros for the past two years, though, and I like them even better. The only reason I've had to replace them in thousands of miles has been an occasional sidewall cut.
One of my buddies runs the Schwalbes on his Bike Friday, and has been very happy with them over four months of commuting and touring use. One neat thing I like about them is the reflective bands built into the sidewalls... very cool & useful.
