Lightbulb MTB Tyre's (Mud)

I'm looking for a decent (but nice broad) mud tyre for use on a XC bike. Current bike setup is a Giant ATX 890 hardtail, running the usualy mix of Hope Hydraulics mixed with XT components. I currently use Panaracer TrailBlaster on the rear (1.95) and a Panaracer Mach SS (1.95) on the front. Now these are pure hard pack XC race tyres, and I need something around the 2.3 mark for muddy, sticky, wet, rooty, rainy days..

I've had suggestions for the following combination:

Maxxis Swampthing 2.3 on the front
Continental Dirt Pro 2.1 on the rear

or

Maxxis High Roller 2.35 (PRICEY!!!) on the front
Maxxis Mobster 2.1 on the rear

Anyone have a good suggestion at an affordable price?
