I need your advice on tires.....

Okay don't go tell me to go search. This is slightly more complex a question.
I have 16 inch rims and winter tires for my 2001 Box base. The car sits a little too low for my liking but when I bought them the price for rims and tires was super cheap.
My question is this. I need new summer tires and was thinking of getting all season tires to replace the 17 inch worn out tires. This would extend the season of driving on 17 inch rims and if the snow got too bad I could switch over to my snow tires.

Also complicating the situation is that I may sell next spring and get another P car(987 or 996) and do you think a prospective buyer looks at tires closely other than wear level?

Would I notice much difference between all season and summer tires in summer?
I am not an autocrosser, track guy. What about noise level between a/s and summer tires? Do any of you use a/s tires year round and are you happy with them?
I would appreciate any input! You guys rock....
