Makes sense. Tubeless is also worth considering. Especially if you've used tubeless MTB tyers etc.
To echo Andy's comments, I ran tubeless clinchers - Mud 2 - for dry races then Tracers for intermediate conditions. Didn't manage to get the mud tyres out at all this year due to a dry year end then missing the final races in the early part of the year. But as noted above your regional mileage may vary.
For super-dry conditions I really liked the Continental Cyclocross Speed tyre - fast, light and high volume.
Major Ts are nice intermediate rims - they are quite wide - 23mm - making a good glue job easier. For a proper mud job a deeper section might be better as they'll collect less mud. I used Chinese 50mm crabons, and as I use disc brakes the associated braking woes aren't relevant.
It does have a bridge, yes.
