Good choice. I've got the standard Schwalbe Marathon in 700c version for when I commute/tour on the cyclo cross bike. Only had 1 puncture in over 1000 miles with them and that was when my touring buddy didn't point out a very sunken grid while I was drafting him.
I haven't found them as hard to get on the rims as I did the sport contacts on my 26" wheels, but they did seem quite tight, and worth spending a bit of time checking for pinches in the tube before trying them out.

As long as I breathe, I attack.
A bit late but i found scwable city jets a great budget tyre, i ran them for maybe 18 months and i was very pleased with them.

Marathons are the business though for puncture resistance.
