Marathon Supreme 32c.... you cannot go wrong with it. They are pricey. Have a reflective sidewall you may or may not like...

Edit: If you want a tire with a little more tread than the Supreme, there is a new Schwalbe Marathon Dureme that I have heard really good reports on! I just did a 70 mile day with my Supremes on dry crushed limestone and they performed very well. They are excellent on roads too, obviously. For coarser surfaces or mudishness the Duremes might be the ticket.
