A definite fan of Gatorskins. I used to ride with Continental 3000's (23) but switched to Gator 25's and now am almost flat free. The tires are easy to change as well. Comment I've heard about the Armadillos is that they are difficult to get on and off (they just aren't all that flexible). I don't think there is most difference in the road feel and roll between the 3000's which are "fast" tires, and the Gators. Nice price break as well as the 3000's run around $50 and the Gators around $35 - 40.
