Tires : GS, GS-D3, HP Ultra Plus...?

[QueSS]

Here is the story :

2002 SS with original 275/40-17 Eagle F1 GS
2 years later: 2 tires have to be changed this year, 2 others next year

Options ($Can):
#1. 2 X Eagle F1 GS @ $507 each = $1,014 (+ another $1,014 next year = 2,028)
#2. 4 X Eagle F1 GS-D3 @ $366 each = $1,464 ($0 next year)
#3. 4 X Eagle HP Ultra Plus @ $340 ($ to be confirmed; $0 next year)

Parameters:
- Want to buy Goodyear only
- Heard that GS-D3 are better but wear faster (true?)
- Heard that HP Ultra Plus are not very good but...,
1. I owned a set in 2000 on my Camaro 97 and liked them;
2. I think they would last longer that F1's (right?)
3. I don't drive fast anymore and even then, code is now Z (was H in 2000)

So what would you do folks, and WHY...

Better than OE by a fair amount.

I thought they spun too easily. You seem to like them though.

This seems to make the most sense in the "what you get for what you pay" catagory.
