Michelin...better quality brands in general.
Michelin is a brand to AVOID in bike tires - had one that the tread came apart in a couple hundred miles, only a couple months old.
Never had anything like that happen with the Bell brand tires, nor Kenda or Panaracer.
Also had a Continental severely damaged by road debris.
And one Bell that got a ¼" nick out of the tread.
Based on my experience over the past four years, my tire preferences are: Kenda, Bell and Panaracer - depending only on price and availability.
