Tire choice is to a very large measure a matter of personal preference -
driving style and budget.
I'd add BF Goodrich to your list - owned by Michelin, they make two
moderately priced H-rated brands, the 'Touring T/A HR', and the 'Comp T/A
HR'.  The former tends to ride more softly and sticks better in the snow,
the latter handles better on dry roads.  The former is around $55 at Sam's
Club, BJ's WHolesale Club, and probably Costco - which, if you are a member
anyways, offer road hazard and 'lifetime balance' service for $7.50.  The
latter is similarly priced, although not as widely available 'off the
shelf'.  Note however that Sam's Club will order in any BFG tire at a price
consistent with their 'on the shelf' selections.  Even more attractively
priced at Sam's Club is General XP-2000H, although the range of sizes seems
to be more limited for that tire.  As compared to the BFG's, it provides
even better snow performance, but slightly worse 'dry road' performance (as
compared to the Touring T/A).  General Tire is owned by Continental.
