It honestly depends on the vehicle they are going on. For my summer car, I run the pepboys cheapies, they ride decent, wear good (except for the rear tires  ???,  my lead foot problem :rotfl:), work good on both wet/dry surface (not snow),  and are cheap. The SX/4 is likely going to get a set of these as well, since it will never see the foul weather, why put on more tire than it needs? lol. My jeep, I like BFGoodrich for daily commutes, main reason there, it is odd tire size that they almost corner the market on (tall, and very narrow). For offroad, I can't complain about my interco super swamper tsl's. The new eagle, probably firestone destination A/T, they look like a well thought out all weather tire to me. There's my little rundown on what I use and plan to use.

I've got Primewell PA100's. I went to Firestone to get Destination AT's and when I dropped it off they had ordered in 235's instead of 215's. He couldn't find any within a distance that I could have them within a day or two and no one else had any 215/75/15 AT's in stock.  They are a little noisy while driving and I knocked about 1 MPG off of the Eagle. Way better in the rain than the Wranglers I had on there.
