I go with either the Destination A/Ts or the Hankooks. I've never ridden on the Firestones but given the abuse I've seen them take (comparing tread condition and alignment angles) they seem to be good tires.
.
I second the nomination if the Destination A/T's. I got a set for my truck (215/75R15) about two years ago after research on my own and recomendations from a couple of friends. I've put about 30,000 miles on them, nearly all on-road (including a 2,000 mile road trip) and they appear to have hardly worn at all. Heck, even at 70 mph in HEAVY rain, there's not a lick of hyrdoplaning. They even CORNER well too.
The only downside to them is that they are pricey ($125 per tire or $500 US for the set) and for the first 5,000 miles they were a tad noisey, but after that, they quieted right down.
The KBF might be a bit to aggresive for your needs.
