Well, obv, no tyre is going to guarantee a completely puncture-free life, but I've worn two sets out on my commuter with the only unscheduled deflation being a deliberate one when a screw was pushed into the top of my front tyre at Borough High Street. I suspect that was a ploy to get me to leave the bike so they had more time to steal it.
I have Marathons or Marathon Plus on:
Tandem x2
My commuter/tourer
Partner's commuter/tourer
Fixed (rear)
Son's tourer
and probably more besides.
I can't recall a puncture on any of those.
The only way you can eliminate punctures altogether, is to run solid tyres ...
