I'll go against the grain of this thread a little.
Assuming that you live in a populous area with decent road service by the local DOT folks, you probably have no need for winter tires to begin with.
I've had dedicated winters on cars in the past and while they are awesome a day or two each winter, they suck for the rest of it.
In an AS tire, Michelin, Pirelli and Continental offer some good choices.
I'd check both Tire Rack and CR for their ratings of the tires you're considering and go from there.
