After new tyres.

I'm looking for a set of tyres which will be mainly used for muddy natural single track, some of which are steep and technical, some rooty some rocky and off camber, but would also like to be able to use them on the Verderes trail in FOD. I have Panaracer Trailrakers at the moment, but took a gouge out of the back one yesterday. They are fine in pure mud but not great on root and rock.
I am considering Maxxis Swampthings can get two for £39 and they get a good review by Jonsey in last months Dirt mag
Any thoughts??

Looking at supertacky. But the walls of tyres are thin. Have now decided to go for the bontrager mud x 2.0 as they are tougher and lighter.----
