Gators if your choosing between the two , better protection and they roll really well.
Some people say gators are a bit slippery in the wet but i have always got on with them and they are my tyre of choice for commuting and club runs.

I have the Conti's on my ride, cannot complain about them, saying that i'll probably go and get a puncture now! 
, but seriously i rate them although never had the Gators so i can't compare.
Feel great, they've also took some punishment through awful road surfaces and still haven't complained.

Conti's on most of my bikes. sport contacts (28's) on the daily commute bike, with over 8000miles and no punctures, purchased 2 sets about a year ago when they where on offer on the wiggle website. came with free tubes. and a one year no puncture guarantee.. haven't used the guarantee, and the spare set are still in the loft...still have loads of life left in them... my only crib is... wet grip under harsh braking (nothing sudden and very controllable) skid/slide..
