If you are concerned with wear, get Dunlop American Elites; if grip is of more concern and mileage doesn't matter, get the Avon Cobras...

Dunlop American Elites are dual compound, and built for mileage. Avon Cobras are built for grip (currently running them on my '05 FLSTN) I am going to put American Elites on my '95 Heritage Special in the not so distant future as I will be using this bike for more trips of distance and mileage is more of a concern....

I have no experience with Maxxis street tires, just their off road stuff...
