It depends on your rims (Zipp rims are better with 22mm tyre or thereabouts than a super skinny tyre).

In general, I'd go for a Vittoria Open Corsa CX (320TPI). However, as a comprimise I have some Conti Competitions on my TT bike. On last years TT bike, I rode with the far more budget friendly Continental Sprinters. I was no slower on them and would have no trouble recommending them.
