Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?
That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...
EDIT: Correct movie referenced

In my case the problem is that part of my local trail butts up against a golf course, and when they mow they just blow all the clippings onto the cycling track. We have a lot of goat head stickers here so you end up riding through grass with these little landmines in them.
All the flats have been from little thorns from the stickers.
Do you have the option or desire to use Schwalbe marathon plus tires? They should offer excellent puncture protection, but they are heavy.
Tubeless won't actually prevent punctures, so depending on your needs and ride style, I'd consider better tires.
The tire rolling resistance site has tests that compare puncture resistance (and other specs) among just about every major tire out there, so that could be a starting point.
