Opinions on LRR Crossover Tires?

Greetings!
I've got a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe that I will soon be putting new tires on and I want to make them count when it comes to gas mileage. The size on the car is 235/65/17.
I know I could probably squeeze a bit more out if I went with a narrower tire but I'm not thrilled with how my car brakes as it is and I don't want to lose more grip than I need to.
I'm mainly looking at Mavis Tire, as I get a discount through work. They have three options that are listed as LRR that also have decent ratings on Tire Rack for wet, dry, snow and tread life (and are within my budget) :
-Continental TrueContact
-Continental CrossContact LX20
-General Grabber HTS

Does anyone have experience with any of these? Any recommendations as to what I should look at instead? My only guidelines are that anything that is more than $150 per tire is out, and no Michelins, since the sidewalls rot out if you look at them the wrong way

Thanks!
Joe
