I don't know about Goodyear but I LOVE my terra grapplers!!!
They are only 33s but they have a very aggressive look compared to other AT tires
ETA: What size bb? My jeep pictured above is running a 3in BDS suspension lift and I can still fit 35s

So far, I haven't seen the Goodyears on anyones Jeep yet. They are too new. Quite a few people have the Terra Grapplers, and they will be cheaper than the Goodyears.
As far as the BB goes, a 2" will fit 33's comfortably. You may be able to squeeze 34/35's under a 2.5" but you will get rubbing when you disconnect the swaybars.

Nitto Terra's here also. Good tire with a good look, at a decent price. AT manners on the road, and no complaints with the dirt/snow/rock I've done so far. Guessing they won't be stellar performers in mud, but we'll see.
Every once in a while I think about kicking myself for not going with a MT, but this tire works very well for me. For now...
Browse here for lifts, tire sizes, wheel options, backspace, fitment etc. Lots of good info.

Which size would 'look' better is something you have to decide. Browse the 'Show me your OME' thread for some ideas. I went with 295/75/16's, and have an OME/spacer lift giving about 4". There are a few pics in my gallery if you're interested.
If you opt for 34's/35's - get bumpstops!!

Go with the Duratrac's!
I just picked up a set of 275/71-18's (34's Nice!) ..... I am so impressed with these tires! Quite, agressive looking, they look like MT's but drive like AT's. I'll try to post pic's tonight.

It is going to depend on what you are doing with your Jeep. The nittos are a true AT where as the Duratracs anr on a blurred line between AT and MT I have a set of Duratracs on my Cherokee and they perform awsome I am very impressed over my BFG AT's
