Money is no object: Michelin Pilots (one of the all-season varieties)
Money is an object: Falken Ziex 512s
Another one to consider: Potenza RE950s (not sure if they come in 17" sizes though).
My $0.02.

Toyo Proxes 4's... got great ratings when i was researching them and im very pleased so far. excellent performance in the rain, havent used them in snow yet
Constantly hear good things about the Falken 512s as well

thanks for the input... i hope to get a few more opinions since i have more time before it gets cold and id like to save as much as possible before i buy tires.

another variable to consider is the quality of roads here in new york... which tires would give us max drivers with stock wheels the best road feel vs pothole absorbtion?

I have had the Michelin Pilots since last September, there great in all weather conditions.

Negative: Watch out for the potholes, especially those of you in the Bronx. I have gone through 6 front tires because of bubbles by unavoidable potholes, or ones hidden by puddles/snow. If you can get them from a place that offers a hazard warranty, TAKE IT.
