I'd go with something with a slightly thicker casing, tbh. Low resistance tread pattern, but more actual tyre material to stop pointy things doing holes.
Fair shout, but like what? Hmm, does that rolling resistance site do XC tyres? ... yep

The Ardent Race also get caned on that website, scoring 3.
