Another possible consideration maybe Continental sports, there are some good reports on those.

Tyres are like anything else, you get what you pay for
I've heard good things about The Sumitomo Z3s(i think they are).But in saying that you do get what you pay for in tyres which is why i run Conti Sport Contact 3s on my car.They really suit the euro.Semi sport semi comfort and excellent in the wet.Also wear well.Got 47K out of the CSC2s.BUT not cheap.
