None of them are bad tires, but you're not comparing the right Supercorsa tire. The Supercorsa SP is a more street oriented tire than the Supercorsa SC. The Supercorsa SC is the real race tire and I promise you it'll smoke the Q3+.

The right comparison for real race tires is between the Supercorsa SC and the R11. The rest of the tires have more of a compromise for street riding.
Not that the Q3+ is a bad tire, if the competition isn't that high, then it can be a very effective long lasting tire. But if you are in a really competitive environment you're handicapping yourself with a tire like the Q3+. You'll have to work harder and come closer to the limits of the tire to get the same lap times than with the Supercorsa SC or R11.
