You could blow your brains out between reviews/comparisons but they're all going to be quite similar and well performing and I'd go based on price between those options.

Vehicle type plays a big role too. Years ago I had Nokains on a Mazda 3 (FWD), and then eventually went X-Ice because they were cheaper. Braking response was pretty similar, but there was a noticeable downgrade when starting from a dead stop on snow or ice. On a heavier AWD vehicle like an SUV I doubt that difference would be so big
