I wouldn't worry too much about the speed ratings as long as they are adequate... W, Y, Z are pretty much irrelevant in normal driving (ie off the track). My winter tires are R rated (slower than H).
There is definitely a tradeoff between performance and tire wear/hardness... Though you can't really compare treadwear numbers between brands, you can fairly reliably within a brand, like Gene was doing, so I would start there. I was actually surprised how good a touring tire the PSS is and the performance/handling is first rate... all the driving characteristics have been fantastic, so I've been ok with the more rapid wear... that said, I think there ought to be a V rated compromise that gets pretty close on the handling front with a little more longevity. I have no interest in "80000 mile all season tires"...
