Default need help buying tires

I just received my CE28Ns and I can't wait to fit them on my car so I need to decide on tires fast!
I'm between the Yokohama AD07, Continental Contisport3, Goodyear F1 GD3 and the Bridgestone S03
I care about handling/steering response, good at aquaplaning, ride comfort/noise, looks and grip in that order.
I live in Cyprus which is hot and sunny 300 days of the year but when it does occasionally rain it pours it down so I'd like to feel safe using the tires through standing water. other than that I just need a high performance summer tire.
I know there's millions of similar topics but I've been looking all round and have not found an answer that'll satisfy my question :/
wheel size: 17x7.5 front 17x9 back
I'm probably going with a 215/45/17 front 245/40/17 back setup
I'm free to any suggestions people
thank you!

I doubt there is going to be (m)any people here who have first hand experience with all four tire models you are comparing. My advice would be to do your own research here:

Most anything near the top of the page will be good.
