Default Need to replace Goodyear GS-Cs

Ok, heres the deal, the origional Goodyear GS-C tires which my car came with are due for replacement (~31K miles on 'em). I am looking for a tire with similar (or better) dry traction, similar (or better) treadwear, better wet traction, and at least some snow traction (I almost got stuck in my flat driveway with 1" of snow on the ground on the GSC's). Cornering responce is more important to me than streight line acceleration capability. This is for a daily driver that sees all kinds of weather. Here is a list of my all-season options.

tire size 245/50-R16
Dunlop SP Sport 5000
BF Goodrich Traction T/A
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

If any of you have gone from GS-C's to one of these please tell me your impressions.

My car is a mostly stock A4 LS1 vert.

Thanks for the help.
