Narrowing down

Basically I would say 90% of the time pavement.

I'd like to buy a new set of tyres, good ones, and I am debating around the Schwabels, the Marathons and so on. I came across a new type, the Energizer Plus Tour HS 441 seems to be a good mix of rolling, road grip, off road grip as well as protection and durability. However it appears that it is meant for e-Bikes...

After reading the forum for a while, I can see that the Marathons and in particular the supremes are one of the best ones people recommend, however I am concerned about their performance on gravel and cobbled part of it... and the marathons plus people say are heavy..

So my question is if you had any experiences with this Energizer tyres on your bikes and how about the marathons for hybrid use, should I get the supremes or the plus? Or any other??

Best regards,
Guillermo.
After more research I've narrowed to the Supreme or the Mondial. My concerns are the for the supremes if they would perform acceptably well on anything other than pavement (mainly gravel and unpaved roads). And for the mondials I've seen a test where they do not roll well (advising to go elsewhere) Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Evo Rolling Resistance Review
