Replaced a set of Pirelli P6s with Cooper CS5 Grand Touring on my Mitsubishi Outlander. Great tire. If you want something a bit stickier the CS5 Ultra Touring will work. My second choice would be the Generals.
I've Narrowed it Down to 4 Tires

+1000%
but Personally, I'd still go with Coopers.

I went from rt43 to crosscontact lx25 on similar vehicles. Lx25 was better all around, but the rt43 was also excellent.
I had the tripletreds before and they were a decent tire. If you go with the Goodyears, go to their website and sign up for their emails, they tend to offer anywhere from $100-$250 off tires. Typically the $200 is $100 back plus another $100 if you use their credit card. I got one years ago just for rebates like that and end up using it once every couple of years.
I just got the General Altimax RT43's for the 300, so far I am very pleased with them. They're quiet and they handled all the rain we got last week with no issues. TireRack ranked them on par with the Continentals I was looking at until Ws6 suggested them to me.

I can't speak about the others on your list, but I had a set of the General Altimax RT43 on my '03 Alero before I sold it, and was quite happy with them.
Considering the price, I wasn't expecting a lot, but had read several good reviews for them. I ended up being very happy with them, and was pleasantly surprised on how good a tire they were. In my opinion, they a good tire, and even a better tire when you consider how reasonably priced they are.

I replaced the P6's on my Sable a couple years back with the (at the time) New CS5 Ultra Touring.. loved 'em enough, that i put a set on my Cmax shortly after buying it. (the tires it came with while they looked good, were the 6 yr old originals, and at least one was cupped, leading to a constant "whump whump whump" while driving)

As long as they are matched perfect and staggered special.

I had a set of General Altimax RT43s and really liked them. They performed better in wet and snow conditions than the Michelin Harmonys they replaced.
Side note, I purchased a set of Michelin CrossClimate+ for the Hybrid last night, and I really like them so far.

The only ones I have personal experience with would be the RT-43. They were excellent on the wife's RAV4 and a relative has them on her CR-V also. Excellent snow traction. I didn't have them long enough to attest to how they wear due to the RAV being totaled in an accident this year.
