I've ridden both JB blues and the MS 35c on my Hillborne. They're both extraordinary tires that I think will work great for you. There's no significant difference in road feel and you're correct in your assumption about width if you're referring to the JB 331/3. I'd give a slight nod to the MS 35 (more like a 33) or you might even try the newer Dureme model because of the reflective sidewall. Most of my riding is on pavement, not dirt but I suspect the MS tire might be better on dirt due to the more pronounced tread pattern. You really can't go wrong with either tire.
