it will greatly depend on what kind of riding you do and what kind of life you want out of your tire. it will always be a tradeoff.
if you just commute, then the shinko or something like it will probably be fine. but if you plan on doing any kind of performance riding then I would go for something like a michelin pilot power.

There are tons and tons of different types of tires. If cost is a concern, then you should choose a price range and then see what tires are available.

You'll find as many opinions on brands as types of tires. I've used Avon, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Metzler... I would budget for ~$100 or less for a front tire.
