Grand Bois Cyprès would be my choice. That brand has been a bit killed off by Compass / René Herse, but I did a lot of miles with the 36mm variety and they were very decent in all departments. When I went to Compass I couldn't really feel the difference, after all they are all made by Panaracer with similar requirements.
Lolo-
I am aware of them. They were ‘new’ when I last fitted tyres to my 650b bike. I was somewhat put-off by mixed verdicts on their durability (and the price is a bit much to gamble).
Personally I prefer tyres (like these) that are on the supple side, even on ‘practical’ bikes. It seems to make more difference than almost any other aspect of bike tinkering.
Perhaps these will go on next. Cheers.

If you know of a better durable 650b road tyre in 32mm I’m literally all ears 👂🏼
