A note about the Conti Gatorskins you mention is that a nice compromise between that model and the GP 4000 is the Conti 4 Season. You get better durability but they are not as stiff and heavy. Kind of a "mid" winter training tire offering better ride quality. Personally, I've been having good luck with Michelin Endurance tires 700x25 which measure closer to 28's. I also use training tires from Maxxis, Panaracer, and Kenda and have had good results there too.
