I have had lots of positive experience at the discount tire off of University and 470. They will actually match Tire Rack's prices in most cases. They also will help you pick out a tire to suit your needs.
Since price is on the bottom of your list, try looking at the Bridgestone Pole Position S03's. I had a set of those and was really impressed. They are not cheap, but I think they are worth the price.
Stay away from the Falken FK 451's. The ride quality on those was terrible. They handled very will though wet and dry, just never balanced well.
