I'm a bit concern about the S.Drive having directionals pattern which may still exhibit the drift-to-the-right symptoms. Someone here did put on a set of S.drive on 17" euro rims and said it's perfect though.
Not sure if that's enough to convince me to commit.

Many tyres are asymmetric. That includes the C.Drive, Pirelli Dragon, and even the Dunlop SP Sport 3000A. I understand that you want to be sure that the tyre doesn't cause any pulling, but consider this, even the A509s that you like are also asymmetrical (tread goes backwards on the left side but goes forwards on the right side ):
