As you say, a lot of choice in that size so it really depends what you want in terms of the performance envelope.
I went for the slightly more sporty end of the range with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and have been very pleased with them including a 2400 mile tour down to the high alpine roads in Germany and Austria recently.
They performed brilliantly on the mountain passes and hairpins but also very stable on high speed motorways.
I think they have a slightly stiffer sidewall than some which is a trade off between comfort and handling. However I have SSL all round so the ride quality was still excellent with slightly softer damper settings.
