Just last week I replaced all four tyres on my Aero after looking at alternatives for about a month. Like you I wanted to be able to rotate tyres to any position.
If you want to avoid directional tyres, from the recommendations I was getting go with either the Continental or Michelin options that you were looking at. These tyres have god rave reviews, but from what I've heard the Michelin PS2 is a better tyre (most people comment on the Pilot Sport, not the 2 version as it is quite new).
The Bridgestone is a directional tyre, so it is not an option, but is apparently very good, but wear quite quickly.
The Pirelli P Zero Rosso was highly recommended and the price was good, but again I was told that wear was quite high (compared to the Continential and Michelin).
In the end though, I went directional and bought Toyo Proxes T1-S. They had great reviews and I've had a very good run from Toyos on my NG900 previously. Compared to the (well worn) Goodyear Eagle F1's that were on the car the Toyo is quieter and grip far better, but the ride is a bit harder (I run all my tyres at 39psi).
Just my 2 cents worth
