Best LRR tires?

What do you guys think are the best LRR tires? I'm getting a car that will need new tires and figured I might as well throw a set of low rolling resistance ones on. The biggest factor in my decision will be winter traction. I live in cleveland, so we don't get a lot of snow in volume, but it snows frequently and it's always wet lake effect snow which is very poor for traction.

Right now I'm looking at:

Goodyear Fuel Saver Max $490 installed.
Bridgestone Ecopia $520 installed

If you know of any better ones, let me know. Right now I'm leaning to the Ecopias because they appear to provide the most fuel savings and respectable traction.

Here is what I used to influence my decision:

I would like to get the Michelin energy savers, but they don't make them in the size i need.
