I've used a few Sakura Dirt Sharks - great tire for the money! $60 for a rear knobby is a great deal especially since I can't get them to throw a knob.
That said, I usually run Maxxis IT or SI tires. Usually an IT front and I switch between the IT and SI rear depending on conditions. The IT rear is better in rocky/rooty technical trails, the SI is better in soft conditions and the motocross track.
I also just switched to a D803 trials tire on the rear. Wow, this sucker is amazing on rocky singletrack. I have to keep my head over the front wheel otherwise I'll loop out a lot of the time. Traction is unreal!
