Best tyre brand for a Jazz?

I'm looking to put four new (premium brand) tyres on my wife's Honda Jazz 1.4 ES Manual (2009 model). It came fitted with Dunlops. I can also get a good deal on Pirelli, Michelin and Bridgestone. (175/65 R15 84T).

What is there to choose between these? Will one be better in snow than another (no, I don't want to buy winter tyres for this car - it's pretty good in snow - at least on Dunlops !).

Will they all show similar wear characteristics? I think the Michelins are "Energy Saving" which makes me suspicious there might be some other compromise.

Michelin Energy Saver. But, for winter, Michelin Alpin A4s.
