Many of the rails to trails paths in Illinois are crushed limestone. I find 50 BAs an excellent choice. I have never had the pleasure of riding in back road Vermont. It seems a BA would definitely be a comfortable choice. BA's add some weight, obviously. But they roll well on pavement. They are a good all round tire.
