I use both on my Atlantis and Homer, The Steilacoomm's work great on pavement and excellent in the mud, but they do hum along on pavement and are possibly overkill most of the time. Barlows are pretty good on gravel but not so hot when it's muddy. If you truly ride 50/50 I'd op for the Steilacoom's because they are fantastic off road and you don't loose much speed at all on the pavement.
