Kumho's or Conti's?

It's time to get tires for my '06 2.0T. I'm trying to narrow this down by price and it looks like the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum and the Continental Exterme Contact DWS are reasonable. I live in San Diego, which has terrible roads (cracks,potholes, etc.) and do a lot of city driving. Good traction on wet is a must, and a nice-to-have for snow (trips to the Sierra Nevada, Utah, etc.) I also want a nice quiet tire. I once had Michelin MXV4's on my '91 900 and hated them -- I had two high-speed blowouts with those -- two separate incidents, so I'm not keen on giving Michelin any more business. We've got Kumho's on my wife's '99 9-5 and I like their traction and how quiet they are. However, based on that, I got some Kumho's (different size, type) for my 900 and they were incredibly loud.
Any opinions? Am I missing a good choice in this category? Thanks for your input...
Phil
