I would list the KDW up near the top based on performance alone. They do not last any noticable amount less then a comparable high performance tire. Their main "con" is a very high road noise. I do not care about NVH in a pseudo performance car anyway. 
Now with the G-Force Sport line being compared above the KDW line by several respected testers that would IMO push it well above the Bridgestone since it's price point is awesome for a high performance tire of it's caliber....
...top on my list until I started reading some of the G-Force Sport reviews. Now those 2 are the top 2 with Bridgestone pretty much out of view based on it's steep price point and similiar performance.
The G-Force Sports seemed like an excellent value to me as well. I'm enjoying them so far.
I don't know that I would make a performance comparison to the KDW-2 because of the treadwear rating. The compound may be just a bit hard compared to the KDW-2s and therefore not quite grip as well. I gladly sacrificed some grip in favor of low noise and better treadwear rating. The bonus was the pricing. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
