First off how much money do you want to spend? No point in recommending a tyre at £30 if you only want to spend a tenner.
At the moment I'm using Mechelinpro race 3's on my road bike and Michelin Krylion Carbons on my commuter and I'm very happy with both. Use Continental GP 4 Season (Duraskin)on my road bike in winter and they were very good.
Had a set of Schwalbe Stelvios on my road bike a couple of years ago and wasn't very impressed and I usually rate schwalbe tyres.
And if you want to spend a tenner then Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase were pretty puncture resistant, a bit 'wooden' feeeling compared to decent tyres though but fine for £10.
Oh and stop calling it 'the darkside' – its stupid and annoying.
