Have got the Marathon Racers on my Hillborne and they are nice tires. Not sure they'd be ideal for a commuter. Mine are wearing down faster than other Schwalbe tires I've used. T-Servs are a very good choice, but had the devil of a time installing and then removing them from my wife's bike. Ended up giving them to a friend and putting Big Apples on her bike instead.
Long way of saying - go with the Marathons.
