Any 26" Tire should be fine.

This similar page on his website also has a nice matrix of wheel rim widths and tire sizes. You can take a look at that if you want to be more precise. Note he says this matrix is conservative and so you might be able to push it. I've used this several times without any problems.

17mm interior rim width is narrow for a mtb. Don't go bananas when you're tire shopping. Measure your bike to see how wide of tire your frame can handle.
