if you can fit Conti Sports contact I would recommend them. They are available in 26", but I'm not sure about the widths

Double Fighters are fine.

Continental top contacts are nice but quite expensive

Schwalbe Marathon plus.
Now, what was the question?

For a commuting bike, puncture-resistance in the face of limited maintenance is the single most important feature, in my experience. Marathon plus are generally accepted to be the most puncture-resistant tyres there are. On a wide-rimmed 26" wheel you won't notice much difference in riding quality or speed between tyres.

Schwalbe City Jets. Cheap, puncture proof and roll well.

I am on my second pair of city jets on my 26"er.
