Question f1 gsd3 or bridgestone re050

Looking for some new tyres 215/40/17, think i'll try the f1's, but has anyone tried the bridgestone re050?
Looking on my-tyres (i think) their link to a review site rated it higher, but different tyres suit different cars etc.. i was just checking.
(unless there was a final answer to the load index prob? and then i might have to start looking all over again......)

Thanks.

RE050 are original fit on MY03 WRX, never tried Goodyears so can't compare, neither have I pushed my RE050's, but so far had no problems with them in 5500 miles.

Not had Bridgestone but swapped from o.e. fit P Zero rossos to the F1's. I find there an excellent tyre in both dry and the wet. I

Currently running F1's 215/40/17 and have found them excellent in the wet and dry although they don't feel as sharp as the SO2's had on before, can't help regarding REO50's, sorry.
