Definitely get a low rolling resistance tire.
Michelin seems to keep popping up in those reviews and threads.

I bought regular tires about 43K miles ago, which kept the cost down.
At about 50 psi they seem to be lasting forever, so I'm stuck with them.
I wish I'd gotten LRR tires, but at the time there was precious little good info out there to tell you which ones truly were LRR. Now even Tire Rack has some info on the topic.
