• ^ he's also trying to work out what size to work out what size tyres to plan for on a custom frame I think.

    I guess I'd go with 32/35mm sliks + full mudguards, or 48.5mm (1.9") 29er tyres without. Whichever is biggest.

    Having room for 32mm road tyres and full guards gives a nice road touring options.

    Having room for 1.9" 29er tyres gives a decent amount of off-road tyre options. I'm not sure you'd find many specialist mud tyres in that size. But thats not what you want (I think). I would'nt limit myself to CX tyres. The pressures required to carry a heavy cyclist makes them less effective on a lot of surfaces (speaking from painful experiance).
