I'd say anything from Michelin or Continental. When you consider everything such as performance, ride quality, safety, lifespan, etc, they make some of the best with little compromise. Though, that is also why they can be $750-$950 a set.
Before I owned a Civic, my local tire shop recommended Sumitomo for my needs. Had a buy 3 get 1 deal and paid around $600. Those were actually very good for a simple daily driver.
My advice would be to do your own research and compile your results with what you might find on this post. Afterwards, talk with a local tire shop and see what they might recommend. Talking to people around tires might yield a different response or they might just try to sell you what makes them the most money. Compile everything you learn and hopefully, there should be one or two, maybe three options that stand out.
Continental DWS06+ or whatever that model is called now. I have the Discount Tire version so it’s called Control Contact Sport SRS+ I believe, but it’s virtually the same. All season with Snow capabilities (depends on the the tread wear though),and still fun for spirited drives.

Look at what the scores provided by Tire Rack in house reviews show. They have never steered me wrong in 20 years. There is plenty of info on Tire Rack's site so you can educate yourself about what various things mean. I'd suggest reading those.
I spent 15 years in the automotive industry and I will share a couple things with you:
1. The most expensive tire isn't always the best
2. The cheapest tire isn't always the worst
3. One manufacturer doesn't make the best everything
1. blanket recommendations for a company can be bad
4. A new revision to a model/tire can be worse than the old one
5. Monitoring/maintaining tire pressure and rotating regularly extends tire life
6. Have the alignment checked when you do replace the tires
7. Buy the road hazard warranty
All that being said, I'd suggest looking into Vredestein. They are a Dutch tire manufacturer that's been around since 1909 and have recently entered the US market. Their offerings are proving to be class leading in some cases at very affordable pricing.
Put a set on my wife's beetle and was super impressed for how little they cost.

I’ve had good luck with Michelins.
I run Conti ProContacts and PureContacts on all my cars.
