you are presenting two totally different applications: "all around dirt" or "mostly ride roads"?
and leaving out a very significant factor, the weight on the tires.
If the weight is high and the tires are small the pressure is high, if the weight is low and the tires are large the pressure is low.
If you anticipate sharp rocks/potholes that implies a tire with tougher sidewalls.
Pick the size of tire for your anticipated load and shock absorption then work from there whether you want tough, dirt, or fast rolling.
