What's important - weight, grip, rolling resistance, comfort + squish? Its tricky to have it all

I run 2.5 minions single ply in 60a but that's cos of the way I ride - grip and comfort and not that bothered about rolling res.

I have been running Maxxis Ignitor XC Tyre - LUST tubless tyres for five years now, they last 2 seasons easy. I run them on Mavic rims and i never seem to have to worry about leaks at all, they're a good all-round tyre and have used them up Epping, Affan and most other places.
Going to try the WTB Prowler MX UST Tyre next year.
