Default Need advice soon: wheels+ tires

OK, I just filed my tax return and am going to use it to upgrade from my stock tires and wheels on my grizzly 700. (for real this time)
The wheels I'm going with are ITP C-Series Type-4 Wheels for sure.
I have narrowed my tire choices to Mudbugs or Swamplites. I can find either one cheaper than the other depending what site I go to and my riding style is everything: rocks, mud, trails, ditches, snow, obsticle climbing, cruising... I do like wide floatation
I have narrowed my size choices to 26" or 27" tires.
I need advice on size first and tire choice second.
Will 27" tires work on the Grizzly 700 without any rubbing problems or too much drive train stress or are 26" safer? I was thinking about 26" but have heard that 27" tires usually have deaper lugs.

Go ahead and give some advice or experience with either tires or sizes and why you would make that choice.

I'd honstly stick with 25" tires. Most of the guys I ride with have commented that upping the tires size does end up causing a bit of power loss. IMHO, YMMV....
