I've still got the original Dunlops on my '99 Viggen, but I'll be replacing them soon and am going through the same thing you are. As far as models go, I'm leaning towards getting an ultra high perf tire with longer wear. Call me "thrifty", but I don't feel like spending $750 on four tires I'll have to replace in a year. I'm considering the RE730s too, but I did notice that the Firestone SZ50 EP was the top rated ultra high performance tire in the Tire Rack reader poll by a good margin. I live in the Northeast and like the great wet performance ratings. I'm pretty sure they don't come in 225/45-17 though. They do come in the stock 215/45-17 as well as 225/50-16.
I'm considering Ronal wheels, and a guy at Ronal USA recommended the 225/45-17. If tire diameter and revolutions per mile are the best way to compare sizes (I figure, anyway), then 225/45-17 is a pretty good match, but not as close as 225/50-16 and 235/40-17. They have this data under the "specs" link for any tire at Tire Rack.
Let us know what you decide on.
