Parigi-Roubaix are as reliable/sturdy as the JB's in my experience. JB's are fast, but I find that Parigi-Roubaix are definitely faster by a 1 or 2 mph. Maybe it's the placebo effect of wanting a these expensive and snazzy tires to be special. Whatever the case, I prefer the PR's to JB's.
True, the massive increase in trail resulting from these skinny tires makes my bike almost unrideable, but I find that the extreme lightening of my wallet helps offset the excess steering inputs that are now required.
