My choice is always more sturdiness, not comfort or being two seconds

more finesse longer tire life


Thin side walls result in premature failure and thus paltry a life span.
Worst case a nasty crash if the front one goes KABLAM.


or more $$$

or tires handle like wood.


You should see my MTB. Very sturdy tires, tire liners with old tubes
shoved over them, plus tubes with 4mm wall thickness. Flats: None.

On the road bike I use tubes with 3mm wall thickness but that doesn't
help when a chunk of side wall decides to go AWOL.
