I had the Yokos and liked them a lot, but after getting two flats within about six weeks (reason unknown), I decided to try out the Bridgestone 960AS.
During the first 100 miles, I thought that the Bridgestones were a little squirrely, but I think that was due to the waxy feeling that new tires have. After a week of driving they settled down and are very predictable.
Between the Yokos and the Bridgestones, I would say that the Bridgestones have slightly better dry grip. I haven't had a chance to drive them in the rain yet. The Bridgestones are also W rated for whatever that's worth (it didn't seem to mean much for the original Michelins)
I'd add the Bridgestones to your list.

they just seem to be brought up a lot on this board and have gotten good reviews from what i've read. i don't know what else to base a decision on. i can't really take them on test drives, though i'd like to
