Conti/Schwalbe Tyres

Hi there,
I'm thinking of getting a Nobby Nic front and a Speedking rear. They're both available in 2.1 or 2.25/2.3". I was wondering which would be better to get - do Conti's/Schwalbe come up narrow or wide?
I won't be in danger of pinch flatting, since not only am I lightweight @ 9.5 stone, but also it's not very rocky in Surrey.
Currently running Kenda Blugroove/Nevegal 2.1" at the moment which seem alright for width, but are too draggy. Are these wide, narrow or honest widths?
What d'ya reckon?

Contis usually come up a little narrower than average IME.

ive seen the Conti vertical in a 2.3 and it looked the same as my 2.1 Bontrager Jones ACX tyres, in fact id say it was even narrower if i had to pick between the 2 on size
