I went with BFGood's Mud Terrain http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/catalog/tires/mudterraintakm.jsp. This tire was the biggest I could get without modifying the suspension or adding lift.
I picked this tire because it made my 2002 black wrangler x softtop look "muscular". I didn't want to go bigger than this anyway, it would have cost a lot to lift it, purchase new fender flares, modify other items that would be clearly visible when looking into the wheel well, etc.
I fell in love with the tire when they rolled that BF up to my jeep and leaned it against the front tire. *Sold!*
The ride is steady and not loud at all. I drive mostly on road. Ill go off road when I get a few more scratches in the paint ;)

I would always take the suspension lift over the body lift, especially if you plan to take it off road. An aftermarket suspension is made for serious off roading and a stock suspension on a Jeep, although made to off road use isn't up to par with aftermarket supsension lifts.
