Good handling and better rain traction? You want soft compound? High mileage rating? You want a compound which does not wear aka hard compound. It is always going to be a compromise.
From my limited personal experience, I had best experience with Dunlop and Michelin. Almost every other brand that I have tried, I was disappointed in terms of how soon the tires used to get out of balance and started thumping. The ElCheapo ones barely lasted 1/3 of their tread life. I essentially wasted my money on them.
