Not to confuse you any further but with touring tire debates people usually side with:
Supple, lighter, lower rolling resistance (faster) but with an increased risk of puncture. The popular industry leader at the moment seems to be Compass (now Rene Herse):

or
Heavier, puncture resistant tires that are somewhat slower. The classic go to brand/model is Schwalbe Marathon:

Your 29r mtb will fit a wider 700c tire, typically at least 35 or 40mm depending on how wide your rim is.
