I believe the Continentals and BFG's both carry the '3 peak' snow rated symbol. I believe the others are classed as dedicated summer tyres.

If your aren’t going off road. Then the BFG’s would be somewhat pointless. If you are. Then the others could potentially be lacking.
For myself I narrowed it down to the BFG’s and the Maxxis Wormdrive which is very similar. As I do off road. Went with the BFG’s as they were considerably cheaper and I’ve had good experience with Maxxis in the past.
No regrets thus far.

I use the Jim as a daily, but also take it on weekly shoots. Me and the Mrs often go away on adventure type weekends and that's only going to increase now that we've got our doggo. The extent of my off roading will be forestry commission tracks, farm tracks and fields. I don't think I'll ever be taking on hard core pay and play sites! hence avoiding MT tyres completely.
Key factors for me are piece of mind whilst on remote trails, decent tyre life & intermediate off-road capability.

Buy once, not cheap, forget the car its the only thing between you & the road.

Wet tarmac is a weakness, not tragic but you do have to watch how you drive. My car is little more prone to rear end slip due to the Quaife diff but the tyres are predictable which makes them manageable.
Apart from a little shoulder wear on the fronts (enthusiasm....) they are virtually as new.
