I gotta second Jason' opinion. I run LTX A/Ts (LR E - 10ply) on my one ton single rear Ram with the Cummins, and they're doing just what he describes. A little over 90k on them, and the tread is still inspectable but they'll be replaced soon for the checking in the sidewall. They run about $200 apiece, but I consider that's actually good considering the life I've gotten out of them. The narrower tire for the dually will cost somewhat less I'd imagine, though buying 6 of them will come out to more than four of the wider, but you're buying 6 of whatever you decide on anyway and I'd say they're pretty good bang for the buck.
Whatever brand you go with, the only general advice I'd offer is that (unless you're off-road a lot) stick with a road tire for longevity. The manufacturers use different compounds for traction tires than for road tires, but that still doesn't completely compensate for the fact that a traction tire is made to generate more friction and will wear the tread faster than a road tire.
