There were 2 guys in my group using controls last year- butchers and purgs. Wouldn’t be my choice tbh, stickier and tougher for me but they got on fine I think, with a wee bit less aggro approach. (I use control butchers on the back at home, great tyre). White Rooms routes usually aren’t especially hard on tyres but still, it’s enough descending unfamiliar trails at speed that they get knocked around.
I was on ust highrollers last time and that was pretty much perfect. Tough, sticky, not too draggy, great in the dust. Used SX butchers another year, which were also pretty good though not as good in the really dry crumbly stuff.
