Thanks everyone for the great advice. Even the guy who recommended new tires for my Jeep :-) So one thing that is steering me away from the Michelin's is
this quote from Motortrend:

Two dirty, poorly kept secrets about Sport Cup 2s: You get one “hero lap,” as Corvette engineer Jim Mero refers to it. After that first extra-special lap, performance falls off. Also, as Tobias Moers, the head of AMG, told me after gloating about the fact that he is slapping Corvette-spec Cup 2s (1416) on the new GT R, “One drop of rain, and you’re done.” As a result, Goodyear was tasked with developing a tire that won’t quit after one lap and that will get you home from the track should it rain. The ZL1 1LE rolls on massive 305/30ZR19 fronts and 325/30ZR19 rears.

So I'm leaning heavily to the Goodyear tires since they are more general purpose. Just I don't see the 3R tires for sale yet so I guess it's just non-R for now.
