It depends on the kind of driving your doing, where you are located, how bad the weather gets and so on. I would go with the eagle gt's if you are in a place like Florida or California. I was looking at the Goodyear GT's however needed something that'll give me good traction in the winter so I'm probably going to get Goodrich Traction T/A's. I've heard good things about them just need 1 or 2 more opinions on them and I'll buy.
I live in New Jersey, and it snows here pretty bad in the winter so while the Enduro Runways I have right now (previous owner) are great during the summer they are absolute crap in the wet or in the snow especially since they have about 40k miles on them.

Depends on your price range and what you plan on doing with your car. If its just a DD any of those 2 would be fine.

make sure to look at the tread wear. go with a nice all season tire as opposed to an ultra high-performance tire. there have been many threads about this. just do research. factor in all the variables.

honestly people that have experienced certain brands don't notice a true difference unless they push it to the max, like autocross, drifting, drag racing, etc. only because when they do such racing they can compare to the last tires performance. Most people wouldn't even know if you switched their tire without telling them, they still wouldn't notice a difference unless they really looked at it or if you told them.
