vittoria open corsa with a latex inner tube. It really depends on what you are going to do with the wheels. The Schwalbe guys I spoke last week told me that within the next three years, most of us will be riding tubeless. In that case, Schwalbe one tubeless in 25mm.

That's what the Schwalbe guys think...!

Depending on what you want to do with the tires, go GP4Ks II if you want a more durable everyday tire and go Vittoria Open Corsa CX if you want a race tire. I'd go 25mm width due to the width of the rim and 25's being generally nicer without much sacrifice.

Tire is for you, not for the wheel "wear" whatever you like, wheels will survive
BTW didn't you notice yet that everyone should ride on Conti 4000s2 ?
There's 2 ways for you : or to be "marketing victim" and follow what other tell you to do, or find what you like by yourself . testing is only way. Will cost you some €/$/£ but you will have something more and more rare : OWN OPINION. It's worth it.

I currently ride michelin pro 4, in 25, with butyl tubes of 75g. I´m very happy with this combo, price performance is the best out there I think. Conti last more, much more, and has less flats, but grip is more woody. I used Schwalbe ultremo but they last less than michelin, have the same grip and the threads start peeling off after 500 Km's...
I always wanted to jump into the Vittoria open tubular system and latex tubes, but it's really pricey and its supposed to last less. But it seems to be worthy and apparently the most similar feeling to tubulars and the smallest rolling resistance in clinchers. I haven't tried it yet though. Should I do i????? ;-D

Next time, ask them why the ultremos thread peels off for over 5 years now. We have had ten pairs of those and all have loose thread next to the brake track. All of them.
Tubeless will not make it in the road. I bet discs in road bikes will be more popular than tubeless, and still it won't make it.
Happy Trails !!!

Go for the Open Corsa CX with the latex
I went for these 20 years ago after my racing time with tubulars. I have tried the conti but keep the Open Corsa because of the comfort

I have Racing Zeros. The best feeling and fastest tires have always begun with Vittoria Latex Inner Tubes. Butyl does not feel as good, and I have not found any Latex as long as lasting or as supple.
