Whatever brand you get, I see you're in NorCal. I'd look for a tighter-patterned, small block tread like a Kenda Small Block 8, or a Slant 6. Or in Maxxis brand, a Crossmark, or a Ikon. Bontrager would be a XR2 or XR3. Wirebead is fine, unless you see a kevlar/folding one for real cheap. FYI, that El Moco is an aggressive mud tire and it will not roll easily. You'll be on hardpack, mostly dry, maybe with some forest loam hence smaller, tight center knobs for easy rolling yet good side knobs for cornering.
