New Boots- choices

At 5000miles now and the rear Sirac is in need of replacement. I can't fault them at all, there's been no lack of grip wet or dry and they supply loads of confidence. No chicken strips front or back but now that replacement is due I'm wondering about maybe going for something with more road bias as I don't really go off road much.

So after looking for choices using Cambrian Tyres which threw up plenty of choices.
Currently I'm looking at the Bridgestone Battlewings following an F800GS-riding friends recommendation, but also thinking about the Conti Trail Attacks.
I had Metzeler Tourances on the Caponord and they didn't do anything for me, I'd probably go for Siracs over them. I've used Contis in past (Sport and Road Attacks) and had mixed feelings about them; they were fine on the Speed Triple but not so good on the Firestorm.

So, any recommendations?
