Which AT tires to buy?

I have had Firestones and the goodyears on previous vehicles. During the run of the firestones i had 2 of them pop within the year and a half i had them.. they where also very easy to go into a slide with.
the goodyears where ok but i personally dont like goodyear. Currently i have a set of Copper Discoverer a/t waiting to be mounted. I have heard alot of good things about the coopers that lead me to the decision to try them.

I just put a set of Discoverer AT3's on my '00 2wd Durango, maybe 1k miles ago.
They grip good in every condition I've put them through (wet/dry pavement, mud, loose dirt/gravel climbing hills, etc).
They're rated for 55k miles, but as I said, I've only put ~1k miles on them, so no idea how they'll hold up long term.

I got the Cooper Discover ATR tires for free, new. I have put about 10k miles on my Durango in the last two years... they have handled great. Mostly dry driving, 50%. 45% wet and 5% snow.
I'm very happy with them. I wouldn't have purchased them as I love the bridgestone duelers on my Bronco in Colorado and they performed better than I could have ever expected. Only had to put my Bronco in 4WD once in 5 years. I only drove it in the winter time when it snowed because my Titan had goodyears and they just didn't grip (light bed didn't help I'm sure).
If you live in an area with rain/snow that's around almost as much as sunshine - get siping done. Well worth the $10 per tire. That's what I had on my bridgestones.
But my advice to you - Don't focus on price. You literally have to drive your vehicle daily and the tires on it will affect your daily life. Go for the tire that fits your needs and has the best rating/style that fit what you're looking for. I have OEM michelin tires on my Fusion, the best tire you can get that they sell and I'm very happy with the performance both in dry and wet conditions. Never had Michelin tires before but I can honestly say I love em. Just not sure about the whole "energy" thing they permote on the tire if it really saves me fuel or not
