Apart from the SO2's, which are a bit too pricy for me, these seem to be the best of the rest. Which of these tyres should I get though for all round greatness (in your humble opinions)? Could I have a show of hands? Thanks all.

No experience of Toyo's i am afraid

F1's i have at the moment and i will go for F1's next time as well unless i can be convinced otherwise.
IMHO
F1 Dry grip better than the Bridgestone Re010's fitted as standard
F1 wet grip 10x better than 010's
Quiet @ speed (i think) as i have had the exhaust and induction done.

17K miles on them, no signs of tramlining or going off, probably another 3k left in 'em.

Had to change the 010's @ 17.5K, have not changed my driving style so's look like they wear well as well

'bout £ 90.00 all in from Tyres Northampton - have seen 'em advertised for less and more on this board. Check that they where manufactured in the EC and not from some godforsaken part of the world using a different compound.

Sounds like a good price at about £5.00 each more than the Toyo's. Tyres Northampton seem to be the place to go especially they're only about 20 miles from me, but they didn't metion the F1's when I phoned, just the Toyo's. I'll have to ask if they think they're worth the extra.
