Icon2 General Exclaim UHP vs Conti EC DWS vs Yokohama AVID ENvigor H&V

Ok so it's time to get new tires again and I'm undecided between the 3 choices listed at the title of this thread. For that reason i come to you to ask for a little advice from personal experience or any type of info you think will help me make the right choice.

First i drive an 06 Si which i don't drive as crazy as i used to but i still am a spirited driver and like to push the limits of my ride, so for that i need a set of tires that can handle that demand. Second i live in NY and my commute varies between highway/town driving. Also i thought of the rain/snow factor and came to the conclusion of getting a different set snow tires when the time comes so the set i need now should mainly focus on dry/rain driving.

The set i have now are Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid which were not bad, but i wanna try my luck with something else that could give me 40k+ miles.

The price difference between the 3 choices i have is no more than 15-20 bucks at the local Mavis so i'm not making that a deal breaker.

I've done so much tire searching on the web my head is starting to spin. It came down to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS, but apparently these are not so good for an aggressive driver and even though they'll be used for DD they way I drive IS pretty aggressive...so now what?
