The Michelin Pilot Sports A/S2 are the best tires you can buy for these besides Pirelli. I just put Continental DWS06 tires on my 2016 6 and it was like driving a different car. So much smoother and more responsive.
Not on your list but the best all season is the continental dws.
Well balanced and smooth at any speed. Tires are in great shape with almost new thread depth.
I have a set of the new Continental extremecontact sport ready to throw on very soon. These tires were designed to compete with the new Michelin summer tires. Tirerack did a performance test on the top summer tires and they performed just under the new Michelin PS4S but for way cheaper.
Most people conclude that Grand Prix are the best mix of puncture resistance, weight, grip and speed to sort of be the industry standard.
I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.
I can recommend continental, Pirelli or Dunlop. They all are pretty expensive but it's worth it, considering how much better they drive on e.g. a wet road or something. have a look at tests, continental is usually #1 or #2, that says pretty much about their quality. I personally only buy Conti and have never been disappointed, my dad has kumho on his car and they are so slippery it's scary.
Have you looked into the Continental ExtremeContact DWS? Discount Tire Direct's eBay account has a sale right now $100 off of $400 with free shipping.
The tread life on the Conti DW left me wanting too.
Had the DWS and MXM4s on a 07 Passat 4Mo wagon. Destroyed the Conti's in 27K, the Michelins looked new at 25K. I won't buy the DWS again for my current 13 CC 4Mo.
