I commute on 3 bikes. One has 28's on it for decent roads. One is a steel hard tail with regular mt tires on it and the other is an alum hard tail with the studs, the bike I don't mind getting dirty.
Both the hard tails, btw, had the forks replaced with rigid steel forks.
So my vote goes to the mt bike.
