Considering how many miles you drive and the varying weather you won't have a say about (long drives usually schedule themselves and you don't get wait for perfect weather), I think you would be happy with the Coopers. I bought them as soon as they were available online for sale in the 6th gen sizes. The only other one I would consider trying on a budget all-season would be the General AS-05's because the AS-03's were good to me on my 5th gen. The Cooper RS3-G1's are made using their Mickey Thompson S/S know-how and Coopers all-weather brains.
I've had them on for 12k miles and 12 months. They haven't faded in their wet weather handling yet. I live in Florida, but last winter saw a number of mornings between 30-40 degrees and they did well. They even have good straight line grip when warmed. I've done hits against my buddies tuned 335M and keep even with his 500hp the whole way. I'm satisfied since I have no current power bumps and my car weights 250 lbs more with a 50hp deficit. He runs PSS' religiously and currently had to go to PS4S due to availability. He can still push over .9g in the corners but I'm limited to high .8's before the back end starts to walk out on me.
The only thing I can say bad about driving this all-season on the Camaro full time is that if you are familiar with pushing the lateral limits, you'll notice the tires start talking to you sooner than any mid or high grade summer tire (because you can't have it all).
