Great that you've come to a decision point. Unfortunately I know nothing about any of these tyres.
This morning I ordered Falkens for my car and have gone with all-season ones for a change - never had these before so I thought I'd try them out - and it's a nicer tread pattern!
I would NEVER go for Falkens. I crashed my car with their ZE512 tyres back in 2006. Only ONE month of buying a set of four tyres brand new. The looked good, but they were lethal. I was going on a slight downhill it was a wet day and whilst braking the car slide as though I was driving on ice, I was just a passenger, crashed into street railings, there was a police car near behind and saw, they could not even understand what happened as it made no sense.
I was more concerned about my car than my own well being. In the end I never bothered fixing that car and scrapping it. I bought another car of the same and after refitting the same wheels to it, I had another brown trousers moment in lightrain where I thought I was going to crash in to the car in front as it broke at traffic lights, the car slid, then eventually came to a stop. After that, I changed the tyres, bought BF Goodrich. It was 10 times better.
I guess they do not make that compound anymore, but would not go for that brand ever; they were cheap for a reason.

The cheapest tyres I have seen are HiFly Vigourous HP801.
Reviews are few and far between - here's one I found:
12,000km only and two tyres have seriously let go by warping out of shape with major steering wobble.
Very bad quality, don’t waste your money or risk your safety.
The other two tyres look like they’re starting to warp too.
