Suggestions on new tires?

Yesterday I got a screw in my rear tire. What tires do you recommend for a dayly 17 mile commute (street tires) and why? What is the price range?

I have ridden and like Pilot Powers
I have ridden and like the Pirelli Diablo Corsa
I am currently ridding on a set of Dunlop 208's.. and for the SH, they work well. The rear will slide a bit more then the Pilot Powers, but it is very controllable. None of the above is a good tire if most of your miles are commuting, with few twists in the course of the day. Mileage is 2~3K when pushed at a hard street pace. I’m willing to give up longevity, for traction So I use one of the above. Others are willing to give up some higher levels of traction so they can get more then a few K from a tire.

How do you ride? How much?(besides the mentioned commute)

Thank's to all of you guys

I went with the Pirelli's Corsa III $145.00 deal. I ride mainly street (1/2 curves, twistes and 1/2 straight). I know little on tires but the bike had dunlop sportmax D208 and the rear slips a little, when turning when riding right at start of the rain (oil on the street).
