Depending on your normal tires (if you have summers the rest of the time), it may be worth getting the XIce3 and run them for an extra month or two before switching over.

I was using Blizzak LM60's on my FX, great winter tires for those with performance cars, or for guys who are still running semi low profiles during winter.
I have Xice3's on my Nissan Puke, and they have been really good thus far. They aren't quite as aggressive as the Blizzaks, meaning they break traction sooner. But when they do lose traction it's predictable, and usually from me doing something stupid like switching into the snow covered lane on the highway to pass someone.
In terms of getting out of a buried parking stall, they have been almost as good as the blizzaks, I've gotten my car buried with 12" plus of snow at cypress twice this year, and while it took a little bit of rocking the thing, I was able to get it out of the stalls without really any fear of being stuck.
