I have a set of 20" Schwalbe Marathons on my recumbent trike and they
are nearly 10,000km old, still have a little tread, and still get very
few punctures, although some louts enjoy smashing bottles on our bike
paths.  The driven wheel (rear, in my case) wears very little more than
the others.  I think they are well worth the extra cost, just in longer
life and better puncture resistance, but probably also for lower rolling
resistance.
