Definitely personal preference. I had an old 'cracked' front tyre, to keep it simple I just replaced it with one to match the rear, which happened to Avon Roadrunners, I have been satisfied with them, it's not as if the bike is a modern supersport, so I don't think it matters too much!
You can get in to long posts where everyone has a different opinion and you end up so confused that you don't know what to do, believe me I have been there many times!!
Where are you from?
