any tires to avoid? tubs would be nice but just too much money

Fixed 38-16
SS 42-18
Gearing feels the same and now have 42-18 on the fixed some times think 42-16 would work better fixed but not got round to trying yet

solarider, good luck mate, hope you have a helper to clean your spare bike each lap. ive ripped 2 campagnolo mechs to pieces this season due to mud build up!

My 2 have never met. One lives in the UK and one at our place in the Alps.
The Alps tends to be dry, dusty riding, so not too heavy on kit. I have never had too much of a problem with Campagnolo and CX.
With their CX specific wheels and chainsets, it seems that they are the only one of the big 3 really aiming squarely at CX so your problems sound particularly annoying I am sure. Having said that, I won't use anything above Chorus in the UK. Too much carbon and expensive kit for the mud.

Genesis day one - 42:16 fixed.
Genesis Day-one by Jon Wyatt, on FlickrIt's alright for my commute which is mostly flat and muddy but take it to the hills and it's a little bit tricky.

Here's mine when it was fresh. Planned changes = saddle to something comfy, 1 x 8 speed, better tyres for winter, but the small block 8's are great for commuting and in the summer. Oh, and lighter wheels.
