My Jeep is on it’s 3rd set of BFG All Terrains, currently have the newer KO2’s. They’ve been awesome at the abuse I’ve given them.

I've had lots of A/T tires over the years, including every iteration of the BFG A/T (including the latest KO2) since the 80's. The BFG KO2 would be my choice for dry desert terrain, but they lack in wet weather traction compared to better performing A/T's. Snow they do good (due to the open tread pattern) unless it's hard-packed or icy.
On the 4Runner we got last winter, I'm running these: https://expeditionportal.com/review-yokohama-geolandar-at-g015/
I wanted a much more capable tire than the OEM installed tires, but didn't want a howling mud tire or super aggressive A/T. I'm running the LT version, as in the review, not the even milder P-rated version. They are great in the rain, snow, and quiet on the road. Balance easily, and run smooth. And have had no trouble on 4wd trails.

2nd the Cooper AT/3s. I've had them on 2 vehicles with good success. Fairly quiet, handle well on and off road, seem to wear well. Like them better than the ATPs.
My Titan will get them when the Yoko Geolander ATs wear or time out although I have nothing bad to say about them either.

I am running the Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Jeep. Great off road traction. Pretty quiet on the road too.
First you need to define off road. Are you just planning on dirt roads and gravel roads as your off road driving?
or do you need something that can also clear some mud from the tread and some big rock grip type of off-roading?
If it's just dirt/gravel roads, the Defender LTX will be more than adequate and give you a nice quiet ride as well.
Nitto makes some good tires. For an AT you can get the Terra Grappler which is a very good tire. I have the Terra Grappler, Ridge Grappler and the Trail Grappler. The Terra Grappler is by far the quietest out of them all followed by the MT Trail Grappler then Ridge Grappler which is a hybrid AT. I will be putting the MT Trail Grapplers back on my Tacoma. They have about 90,000 miles on them now and could go well over 100,000 on them but I won't. You will get about 50,000 miles to 60,000 on the Terra Grapplers if you rotate every 5,000 miles.
if you are going in snow I'd probably get something mountain snowflake rated.
yokohama geolandar g015 are excellent.
Milder AT design, decent fuel economy, lower noise than some.
I had several sets of their predecessors and liked them.. the g015 are improved in every way.

I won't be doing any mudding. Dirt/gravel roads and an area that gets 19-30 inches of snow per year.
I'm wondering if the Defenders would be fine for my usage?

Ended up purchasing a set of Defenders, I feel they will be fine for my usage and still be comfortable on the highway. Got discount to match the Costco $110 off deal and then he took off another $50, so not too bad.
I had those on my Ranger and loved them! Not quite as much snow traction as the BFG All Terrians they replaced but far superior wet pavement traction. I think the Cooper is the perfect mix

I have Cooper AT3 XLTs on my 2017 1 ton truck. I have about 5000 miles on them and I really like them. They are solid when towing. The AT3 is the less aggressive step below.
Cooper AT3, on my second set on my XJ. Would highly recommend them.

AT3 on the Hummer. Wear and performance in snow excellent at 38 PSI.
Have had Nexen Rodian AT Pro RA8s on the Wife's 14 Armada for 50K, very pleased with all aspects of the tire.
