My personal favs right now are Ritchie Tom Slicks. I've done an epic road ride with them and found they did well (26x1.4" @ 90psi), plus they had grooves that kepth them a bit nicer on any sand. If you're near a MEC, they may be worth giving a look.
I would recommend the Specialized Nimbus. They have a little tread and work great on my commuting ride... I've done 78 k on them in one go without any hint of a problem. My riding partner uses Armadillos, and the only problem he had is that if you happen to pick up a nail, pulling the b@st@rd out of the tire is next to impossible...
Can't beat the Ritchie Tom Slicks for value. The Continental Gatorskins look & feel prerry fast but are 2-3 times the price. The Tom slicks give you the best tire pressure that I am aware of.
I've seen a 26x1 in a Specialized tire....don't think it went any higher in the pressure, though. If you go for a higher pressure slick, make sure your rim will take it...a wheel failure would not be fun.

The Gatorskins are pretty good (I use a set on my cyclocross bike for commuting)...but because my rims will take it, I still like the Tom Slicks :)
