I'm currently running a Dunlop Qualifier upfront and a Dunlop Roadsmart on back, I like the setup and if installed together they last for about the same mileage, I'm going to the BT-016s front and back next time and gonna try the 190/55/17 while I'm at it.

I go with matching and between soft and hard. I like to get go mileage out of my tires since my bike is on the heavy side and the big V-four just eats them up. Bawhaha.

for street it was always matching compounds/brands/models... but with dirt... seems the best reviews are almost always on mixed sets. so well see

Corsa 3 up front. Pilot road 2 out back.

Going to put on a fully set of road 2s or a road 2 out back and pilot power on the front. Whatever I get the best price on.

i generally run matching brands, michelin-michelin, but i do run a more aggresive ft and sport touring rear

currently i have mismatched tires, when i bought the bike the rear was getting low at 2600mi, and for the 1400 mi trip home i wasn't sure the rear would make it all the way, so i replaced it at the north end of "the dragon"

1) Must have matching tires and matching compounds front/rear

This is what I go with.
