I think you need to define wide vs. narrow. If you are talking a 10.50 as narrow and anything over 12.50 as wide, a good person to talk to is Jackrabbit. He runs a set of 33x10.50x15s on his jeep.
I see benefits to both, but if you need to float on top of stuff (like snow) a wide tire is great. Now putting that same tire on the road will cause you to follow the ruts more easily which will strenghten your forearms, but it is a pain if your wife wants to drive your rig.
I think overall rig weight plays a big part of this as well. If it were me, considering the enviroment, I would go with something in the 12.50 or 60 range. American tire has a sweet 60 STT on hand right now too.
