Goodrich Traction T/A vs Bridgestone Potenza RE950!!

I have bridgetones 950's on a 94 E420 on right now and I really love them. I have another 94 e420 with 009's. I don’t ever drive that car so I can't really comment on their performance. I was thinking of going with the T/A's.....how do they compare to the 950's? I live in GA so I need a good combo of dry and wet traction along with good wear. I tend to drive a little spirited as well…. at least that what all my friends and family say

note: Looking at just the numbers, reviews and tests on tirerack, it seems that the 950s and T/A H's are pretty much equal; and the 009's on par with the Dunlop Sport A2's which seem to be a bit less performance oriented.

I have the Traction TA's (swtiched from Yoko AVS DB) and I love them, however they have the ugliest sidewalls ever, but I wouldnt trade them for anything, i use them for my late fall to early spring tire.
