Default POLL: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2?

I need summer tires. I know that many will recommend the Toyo T1R's, but I want to try something different.

GS-D3:

I've read pretty positive reviews on the GS-D3. My brother has the KDW 2's...says they're noisy.

Default I'm looking strongly at the F1's I think the price is right for the amount of performance...

Just a head's up though - I found that Walmart's website listed the tires in 235/40-R18 for $197! (vs. local tire store @ $269) And there's no shipping if you have them delivered to a local store. I'll definetly go that route if the tire place I deal with won't beat that price by 5% like they advertise.
