I think thunderburts strike the perfect balance between on/off road - I run them tubeless without issues at all (no seeping or anything like that at all)
For me (I go slow) they corner very well on pavement and I've taken them through pretty rough New England trails with roots, rocks, etc and they've held up very well with no punctures. My new Rosco Bubbe build will have endurance knobbie RH but I haven't tried them yet, so can't compare them.
