Nexen Winguard sport for me (215/40/17), I've been through only one set and am just on my second set since I started using winter tyres (severe snow in 2011 comes to mind) - only used for a few weeks a year and since I have a second set of alloys I just switch them over when needed.
The only "issue" is that they last so long that they are past the recommended age limit before they wear out. The deeper initial tread makes them last longer, however, I guess that for winter use that I should not have worn them down to the limit, though I do like to get my money's worth.
My wife prefers all seasons since Nokian weatherproof were on her car when she got it but we have also used Maxxis AP2 which are cheaper and that's what she will be going replace the Nokians on the front with this winter.
Not that we get much snow for long nowadays but when it does come, for those few days winter tyres make a huge difference (at least when you are not stuck in traffic because other drivers can't get moving).
