What's best is thus subjective.
Most people won't actually notice the increased levels of grip, but neither will they notice the change in steering feel from widening the track by just a few mm. They might start noticing at +10mm per side or so.

This is very true - I went from the stock +48 ET to +35 ET, and the difference was very noticeable from the moment I pulled out of my parking spot - the car felt comparatively numb. I actually regretted it almost immediately (despite the better looks and grip).
A more conservative shift (like going to +43ET) would probably give you the grip benefits of wider tires, while also maintaining more steering feel.
