Marathon Plus are great, but they're not the most supple of tyres. Tubeless is a great solution for preventing punctures (especially sharp thorns left on roads after trimming of hedges and bushes), but it can be a faff to set up until you know what you're doing and the tyres are more expensive. You also "need" compatible rims to run tubeless unless you fancy a ghetto setup.
