If you're looking at the Marathon Allmotion then it sounds like weight isn't the biggest concern for you. I've been running the Donnelly Strada USH 40c tubeless lately and it's really nice. Heavy, but nice. It rolls very well on pavement and wears well while offering enough tread and volume to work well on gravel and dirt. I also really liked the Schwalbe G-One Allround 38c tire. The tiny tread wears quickly on the rear, but doesn't really compromise performance when that happens. Allround is an accurate name for that tire.
