I am on a Riken Raptor now and it works well. However, it is probably the tightest tyre that I have put on the rim - it is the only one that I could not put on at home with tyre levers. The local chap did it for $20 so all is well. It is either my 5th or 6th DS, with 100,000 miles on them total. The others also worked well for me.
As long as you get a high performance summer tyre, with a tread that is symmetrical across the centre line, you will have no problems, unless you ride in sub-freezing temperatures. I did try a four season high performance tyre to cover the winter riding - it had different compounds in the centre and outside - but it wore out in the middle long before the edges.
