Do you track the car or autocross it? If so, you probably want to replace all four. Even if you were able to replace the rear two with the same kind, they will have different grip characteristics because of the difference in heat cycles. Brand really doesn't matter. It's more the specific handling qualities of the tires. I would go with a complete set.
If you don't track your car or use it for auto-x, I don't think it will matter. You just won't (or shouldn't on the street) have a chance to be pushing the car to the limits where it will matter. Just get tires that have similar handling qualities.
If you've got tons of money, get the Michelins. If not, but still want to a really good tire, look at the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric. It's rated better than the PS2 in most places and is WAY cheaper. If you won't be tracking it, just look at Tire Rack and read reviews to see what people say. You might be able to find something fairly cheap that will do what you need it to. Look at "summer" tires.
