Each to his or her own. It depends on what you prefer. Many ride stiff tires that don't flat; pre-sealant, I preferred -- no, really, really much preferred -- to fix over 150 flats per year (2 boxes of 100 Remas per year, more or less) instead of riding tires that felt slow.
Fortunately, modern sealants even here in goatheadland allow one to ride the lighest, thinnest tires with hardly any flats and resulting pleasure: in tubes for higher pressures, tubeless for lower pressures.* Of course, we get very little rain; and also, 2 spare tubes per bike usually let me get home before I had to break out the patch kit (also one for each bike); plus of course top quality pumps. Again, each to his own; this was my own. * For me, an unscientific but still empirical division at about 45 or 50 psi.
