I assume all these tires would work well on those rims, since they were used with even wider tires on 'cross wheels back in the day. What rims are you using?
I'm debating whether to run the 30mm on the rear with a 27mm front to help even out the wear. I'm not sure it would be worth it.
I have been using Vittoria Pavè 27mm for probably 10 years... I went through a couple sets of GL330 rims that I got used and they worked fine, but a few years ago I built a really nice pair of wheels on new HED Belgium tubular rims, which are a little wider and deeper. To accent the fact that I built them myself, I laced them with the pulling spokes black and the pushing spokes silver... you can kind of see the effect in this photo; subtle but cool.
