Need help deciding on Michelin tires

I need new tires on my 09 Civic Si Sedan before winter hits. I have asked before on this subreddit and was told to get the Michelin Premier AS which are currently $165 per tire. Should I get the Michelin Primacy MXM4? I found them for $101 per tire on Amazon. My driving style is average, no racing on track, I need all season tires, and would take comfort over high performance. My local Mr. Tires quoted me a total of $810 for the Premier AS with mounting, balancing, and road hazard warranty. Wheel alignment is at an extra cost. If I get the Primacy MXM4 from amazon or from TIRE RACK, I would have to get them mounted and balance at a local shop. My mind is telling me to stick with Michelin. Maybe that is because I am brainwashed that Michelin are the best tires. So question is, Michelin Premier AS or Michelin Primacy MXM4? Is it required to get a wheel alignment for new tires installed? Can anyone give their input about their experience from buying tires from amazon that were ship and sold from amazon? If I the Primacy from Tire Rack, should I buy their road hazard warranty?

Thanks in advance
