Take the 1-2mpg hit with the winter tires. It costs a lot less then fixing your truck because you slid into the back of someone!

As for taller tires, make sure they will fit without rubbing. You can only upsize so far before your first corner rubs a nice hole in your fender wall.
I've been driving in snow and ice all my life all I have ever ran is all terrains drive slowly and dont be a jackXXX and you get by just fine. I mostly run around in 2 wheel drive in the winter.
