Don't have lots of your terrain here Andrew, but we do have some and that's the stuff I really like, especially on the rigid. The Schwalbe SpeedGrip (blue line) compound, really has impressed me with how much grip it offers, yet still rolls really well. I think a mixed SpeedGrip rear/Soft front combo would really be a great all round combo for me, except for those few trails I mentioned when they're wet, so guessing a Soft/Ultra Soft combo would work well for you.
If Schwalbe ever decide to do 29x3" or even 29x2.8" version of the Nobby Nic and Hans Dampf, I'd be all over them, maybe even a Rocket Ron in 29x3.0" for a faster "XC" setup.
