My vote would be for Rene Herse Switchback Hill in standard casing, or maybe Endurance. I have no doubt there may be tires out there that are almost as good and a fair bit less expensive, but I have complete confidence that Rene Herse are always an excellent tire. I run the 650x48 Switchback Hill standard on my custom Falconer, and they are splendid. For East Bay commute service I'd think about Endurance casing, I suppose.
