Winter tyres - which are best for the C-Class?

I shall be taking delivery of a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class 200 Sport next month and want to get winter tyres fitted, as it is a rear-wheel drive car. What tyres would you recommend and what price should I expect to pay?

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons or Vredestein Quatracs to leave on all year round. Vredestein Wintracs to leave on only for the winter.
