Try tirerack.com for surveys of different tire choices. You can get some sense of each tire's strenghs and weaknesses.
Also, CarandDriver.com has done comparison tests (partnering with Tirerack ).
I opted for Continental Extreme Contact DW. But you might prefer tires with different characteristics.
Regarding what to do....I carry a plug kit in my trunk along with an inflator and a bottle of Slime. All can be had for under 50 bucks.
