I would do an XL or LR C. No reason to spend extra on a 10ply LR E tire. I found no handling difference between a LR D and E tire other than an extra $10-20 per tire out of my pocket when both are run in the 50-60 psi range, and appropriate weights per axel.
I also had not heard of the derate the XL by 9%, I have heard that with P metric.

Told my Boss' son to throw on a set of Michelin "E" on his 99 1/2 ton Chevy years ago. He ran those tires at what was recommended and went 150k.
