Depends on the nature of the 20% trail really.

If it's just light singletrack and rough paths then I'd probably go with 700c Hunts and 35mm tyres (G-One Speed if it's mostly dry G-One RS or Allround if damp).

If the trail is more involved, or likely to be muddy, go with your WTBs and something fatter. The downside is that they'll probably be quite heavy and draggy on the road.

Depending on the inner width of your WTBs it might be worth sticking some 35mm tyres on those to start and seeing how they work.
