Default CBR600 F4i 2004 Tyres?

Hello,
I am in a bit of a predicament, this may have been asked a million times before but all these forums are doing my head in and cannot seem to find anything bike specific and relevant to these new tyres.
I am in need of some new front and rear tyres and am currently trying to decide between Michelin Pilot Road 4, Michelin Pilot Power 3 and Pirelli Angel GT. Anyone have any advice on which works best on the F4i, it is a bit more sporty than the average sports tourer (in my view) so would the Pilot Power 3 be more suited?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What type of riding are you planning to do?
What climate do you ride in?
How long do you expect them to last?

Mainly weekend pleasure riding, down country and side roads but I do like to attack corners and try to maintain a good speed. I generally would only go out in good sunny weather but I live in England so sometimes would need it to be quite good when the rain hits. Not too fussed on how long they last, would like at least 4000-5000+ but would prefer ones that would help my riding.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Can't speak on the diablos, but

Either Michelin will be fine. The road 4 will be harder compound so it will last a bit longer and be great on the highway, with decent corner grip. The power 3 will are softer and feel good in corners, but not last as long, especially on the highway.

Now that's only comparing them to each other. The reality is that just having new tires will be the biggest improvement.
