Continental Gatorskins or Panaracer Paselas are my two top choices.

Paselas have a bit more give for a better ride, Gatorskins wear a bit better. One thing I didn't see in your list is flat resistance; fixing a flat kills your commute speed and time.

Also IME run new tires a few miles (commutes) before you take them out in the rain. That seems to wear off the mold release, and the rubber underneath is much better at grabbing pavement (wet or dry). It usually doesn't take much, maybe 50 miles or so.
