I'm running the Firestone M/Ts right now and I really like them.
They are loud but they are wearing really well.

The Toyo A/T's are supposed to be really good too, but really expensive.

My wife has Nitto Trail Grapplers and they seem to do well in 35 x 12.5. More quiet and smooth than the BFG AT's she had before.

Not sure on your size...but I had a set of stock sized Bridgestone Dueler REVO AT tires that I really liked on HERS (below). Since 98% of my driving is paved roads, I just need a highway tire which is why I run the Michelins now. Better ride, better mileage, better longevity.

I ran the Toyo M/T's on my last truck. I put 70,000 miles on those tires (ran them slick). Any tire that will last that long on a 7700lb truck deserves a look. On the other hand they were kind of loud and the rubber is so hard they don't offer as good of traction as some of the other tires.

I've wanted the TRXUS's after putting them on my Toyota Trd but went with the Toyo's. Not sure why I did.

You and everyone else. Unfortunately there is no such thing. All tires are a compromise, you just need to decide whats is most important to you and then find a tire that fits your needs.
