Yep, there's just not much more to say. I WILL say that I've owned lots of tires on 4wd trucks and SUVs.
Back in my consumer car repair days I saw a lot more, and installed more than a few. Over the years it has been my experience that Yokohama generally builds a better tire than Cooper. Better uniformity, easier to balance, etc.
Nevertheless, I've owned the Cooper A/T3, and have the Yokohama A/T G015 LT 265/70R17 E tires on my TRD ORP right now. I went with the LT-rated tire because I do go off-road, and I've had poor luck doing so with P-rated tires.
They've done great. They are not the most aggressive looking tires, but I'm more concerned with function over form, and they look fine, IMO.
I've had really aggressive M/T tires. I would only run those again if I were running through mud bogs regularly.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
