Default need help with tire choice!

After beating this dead horse for aver a couple of weeks now I think I havew narrowed my search down to 1 of three tires, And I am hoping everyones opinion will sway me one way or another. My stock tires are 255/75/17 and I will be sticking as close to stock soze as I can get. My choices are...............
Cooper Dicoverer S/T $1060.00 (for all five mounted and balanced)
General Grabber A/T2's $800.00 " "
Goodyear silent armour $ 1000.00 (approx cost)

any thoughts?

I've been running on Copper Discoverer for almost 10 years, and have been very pleased with them. The others I don't have experience from. I now run on ProComp Xterrain, and they are more silent on road than the Coopers were.

I guess Cooper fixed their problems with the Discover m/t tire...STT's are whatever don't remember, but a mere 5 yrs ago I went through 2 sets under warranty for un-banding of the chords. Sounds like they have improved from all I've read on here about them.
