I've heard nothing but good things about the Indy's including their price.
In that list you're comparing apples to oranges a bit. Those particular Michelin, Bridgestone, and Yokohama models are top tier rubber, the Firestone are a category below.
As mentioned the Firestones are great value for the money. Only real downside I noticed with them is the noise level on older road surfaces.
Here's a comparison test on the Tire Rack site that includes the Michelin and Yokohama:

Also consider the Continental ExtremeContact Sport which is another top tier model, and in the bigger sizes is often $50-$75 less per corner than a Michelin 4S in the same size. I'm likely to go with a set of these on whatever I pick for street wheels for the 2017. If price is not an object, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are still the ones to go with.

For pricing comparisons, TireRack prices for the Firestone, Yokohama, and Bridgestone are less than $20.00/tire difference. Yes, I know U$, but it would not be a crazy difference even with exchange factored in.
