Default Sporty touring tires

Ok, its about time for new rubber on the Buell.

Currently running Pilot powers, get about 6,500 miles/set with those, but they always wear funny and give me vibrations toward the end of their life, so I'm looking for a change.

Anyone have experience with any of the following tires? Mileage/lifespan? Traction in the wet and cold?

Bridgestone Battlax BT-016
Bridgestone Battlax BT-023 (and BT-023GT, not sure the difference )
Pirelli Angel ST
Conti Road Attack

I do mostly commuting on the straight flat ND roads, but still want a sticky tire for when I do ham fist it through a corner/on ramp, or get out in the twisties of lakes country. If I can get 7k out of the set I'm good with it.

Give me your opinions and experiences.
