Road riders every time for me. I have them fitted to 80% of my bikes and when the other 20% are worn out, they’ll be road riders as well!

Not tried the Avons, but happily running Bridgestones on mine. Plenty of grip, no idea on wear rate as they seem to be lasting longer than my memory span... :D Running 33psi front, 36 rear give or take a smidge works well for 14st me.
