I am very happy with the Marathon (with Greenguard) in 40mm width for 26 inch bikes. I have used that on some gravel but that is my go-to tire for paved touring. I would assume that the closest tire to that size in 700c would be good too, if it does not come in 40mm, then 35 or 37mm width. I have only used tubes, I have no comment on tubeless.
You probably will get about 15 to 20 recommendations here, so good luck.
