If you have factory rims, stick with the original tires. The other two options will affect the operation of the speedometer (showing slower or faster than the actual speed).

If you want to go with wider tires or lower profile tires, your better bet will be 205/50-R16 or 215/40-R17. These options will maintain the integrity of speedometer.
