The best flat preventative is a set of extra-thick thorn resistant tubes. The armored tires are not worth the money from my experience. If you want total tire reliability, combine the belted tires with the thick tube. Expect serious prices for good flatproof tires though.
The tubes are $15-20 BUCKS. The tires are $50-100 and up.
I have used Bontrager and Specialized flat resistant tires and both were prone to spinning on the rim and tearing valve stems out on motorized bikes. They are very sensitive to low tire pressure.

Chainstore tires are worth what you paid.
The REAL brands are more than $20 bucks.
Just my experience.
