You guys are lucky with the 20's, many more A/T tire sizes to select from. With my factory 22's (that i LOVE) i've only been able to find one size of the tire i want in a A/T. I'll be replacing mine next spring because i cant stand the performance tires they put on my limited.
For winter i have chrome steel 17's with Blizzak snow tires, i'll be having TPS sensors installed before they get mounted to the truck, just because i don't want to look at a light.

This is definitely the best option. Our winters here are so hit or miss lately, I would destroy the Blizzak's with the normal winters, and the majority of the driving I do.

Nitto and Toyo have sizes in the Terras and O/C AT2s that will fit without a level. You'll have to step up on width though to the 285. Cooper makes the Zeon LTZ in a couple sizes that'll fit also.

Our winters are harsh enough and we do not salt so the roads stay mostly ice/snow covered that blizzaks are known to last 4 seasons with little wear.

If you run the numbers, 2 mpg over 50k miles (the lifespan of a set of tires) means you'll spend an extra $1000-1500 on gas (and 4 mpg would be $2-3000). No value judgment here, just numbers.
My problem with 20" wheels on a truck is that the tires do end up looking more like rubber bands stretched over the rims and offer no useful performance gains for a truck unless you consider "bling" as part of performance--I'd prefer 17 or 18" wheels with a taller tire.
