As the title says, which tire should I go with? I don't really off road much (Just some light off roading while training the dog and hunting during the fall) and even then most of the off roading will be done in areas with gravel roads that are at least lightly maintained. Only real worry is when it snows and I'd still like to go out hunting. Since I can't put chains on to use while off roading (due to tire size), I'm looking at different tires. I'm not looking for a real aggressive AT tire like the KO3's and what not. Maybe something that's a small step up in off roadiness, but still mostly road oriented. Seems like the two brands are mostly what I'm looking for, so I'd just like to hear what every ones experience has been with them.

If it makes a difference I have 20" wheels that came stock with the LCLC premium. I'm going to keep the current tires until they're worn out though. I'm not opposed to getting 18's, but I'd rather not spend the money when I think 20's should be just fine for my application.
 
My last vehicle (Dodge Durango) had Michelin Defender LTX MS2 and they are fantastic all season tires. Good MPG, quiet, long lasting (put 80K miles on them), and solid winter traction. I plan to replace the OEM Geolander X-CV tires (which aren't great), with Michelin Defender LTX MS2 tires. I can't comment on the GO15, but for the needs you described you can't go wrong with the Michelin LTX MS2
