The bigger question is, do you have aspirations of being nationally competitive? If so then lean towards the Yoko or Stones. If you just want something that is quick, cheap and will last you some, then go with the Falkens or Kooks. The later being much better if you plan to daily drive these wheels/tires.
Just my $0.02
