New tyres

Been having bad luck with punctures resulting in a shredded rear and much time spent repairing punctures - though I'm now unsurprisingly efficient at finding and repairing them :evil:
Current tyres are Specialized Nimbus 700x32. Alongside switching for puncture resistance I'm thinking of dropping to 700x28s. What would you recommend? I've heard good and bad things about Gatorskins, not much about anything else. While lighter would be better I'm not overly fussed about weight; I just want tyres that won't puncture so bloody often while rolling well. I'm 107kg if that makes a difference to recommendations. Thanks

My stock Specialised Espoir Sport's 700x28 went 4000 miles, one puncture each. Puncture resistance is good judging by the shards of flint, glass and metal I've pulled out on weekly inspections.I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.0

I use Marathon plus 25mm on my Day One. Thinking of moving to 28mm.
can't fault them, built to last and it has survived many a bottle strewn cycle path.0
