I am also a big fan of Schwalbe Marathon 32s. I however have had very good luck with the Marathon Plus on roads and gravel and major mud. I found the ride to be smooth as could be and even a little cushy if you avoid the max pressure rating and slow down a little. I also bought a pair of the same tires but 38 width and have loved them... although they do slow me down a little.
