The proper choice of a set of tires depends on alot of factors.
Do you want exceptional wet traction and grip?
Do you want exceptional dry traction and grip?
Do you want a a good tire overall in all catagories?
Do you need good snow traction?
Do you want great wear to get alot of miles on the tires?
For you, you state that you want sticky and grip, so I assume you are saying dry conditions.
Go for the KDWs.
If you can wait until this Summer, Kumho will introduce the Ecsta MX, I've tested this tire against the KDW, the MX is much better for dry grip and handling. And will sell for less.

I want a tire that has great dry traction/handling. I rarely drive in the rain and the car is garaged in the winter (and wet roads as well) The KD's are just too rich for my blood.
At the momnet it's a toss up between the KDW's and the Kumho's. I have heard great things about the Kumho's but i am not sure how they compare against the KDW's in terms of handling (sidewall stiffness).
The other 3 are ones that i have been tossing around a little.
