Default Bulletproof tires...suggestions?

I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive, puncture resistant tire. I rode Conti Kevlars before, and they seemed to do the job, but was wondering if anybody had any other good suggestions.

I've had pretty good luck with Specialized Armadillos.

Tire liners. You can use them on any quality tire and will last a few years. After a few years, the plastic starts to develop runs and will pinch flat your tubes. I've had 1/2" gouges in my tires discovered after a ride and the liner stopped it dead.

Tire liners a heavy, though. Fish is a triathlete, so I'm not sure he's willing to cope with the added rotational weight of the liners. though, they are bulletproof.

Kevlar Spinskins aren't very heavy, this says 18g each.

Some good tires with Spinskins is probably lighter overall than my Armadillos, anyway.
