Oh and for tyres. I'm currently using Continental Sport Contact 1.5. They have a soft enough compound to give good grip, they are virtually slick so they roll very quickly. They also have enough volume to provide a reasonable amount of cushioning on a fully loaded tourer and they do last for a few thousand miles.
I tried Schwalbe Marathons and found them to be very heavy and sluggish not to mention frightening in the wet.
The Halo Twin Rails mentioned in the OP are good tyres though. I used them on my commuter for years, and the same set still see regular action. For such big tyres are relatively light, have puncture protection and they roll well when pumped up hard. Plus if you drop the pressures they aren't bad off-road too.
Oh and have I mentioned Sudocreme?
