At the speeds and weights that these tires are handling (in all but trackday situations), any of these will work just fine. A worn tire or a tire that isn't inflated correctly will have a much larger negative effect on the ride rather than the differing constructions of two new high quality Michelins.
Bias-ply ones are around 1/2 the price of the Radials.
Looks like there are 2 versions of Bias-ply ones with differing Load Index.

BikeBandit has the Bias-ply ones ..
