After lots of shopping I felt that was my best value choice for my 9-5 and I've been very happy with them. I must say I'm surprised at the price delta between the Bstones and the Dunlops. Usually the diff is within $10. I put the Dunlops in very close competition to the Bstones and of the tires you mentioned, that seems to be the best deal.
The Contis will be smooth and quiet if that's a priority. The Eagle HP's are sticky but tend to wear quickly. The BFG's are good for a Taurus or similar but not on the same level as the others. I like Pirelli's when new but they tend to get noisy when close to 1/2 worn. Obviously Kumho and Sumitomo are your price leaders, good for what they are.
Let us know what you decide :)
