The 265/285 combo is the easiest to find a matching performance set of tires.

If you are not tracking the car, why do you want something more "meaty"? That will just reduce your selection (as someone else alluded to), drive up the price, and decrease comfort & wet traction.

You will not fit a 295/35 or 305/35 on the rear of your car with the offset you have. You might be able to fit a 295/35/18 Michelin PSS because that tire has a rounded shoulder. A more square tire will rub the painted fender at the 10:00 position on the driver's side. I always recommend 10.5 (or 11) et25 for someone who is looking to run a 295/35/18 tire. I have been able to fit a 295/30/18 Hankook TD on a 10.5 et20 wheel but that tire doesn't seem to run as wide as others - plus the smaller diameter (30 series) helps with fitment. A 295/30/18 Michelin Cup2 would definitely not fit since it runs wider than the TD. All things considered I would stick with the 265/285/35/18 combo if I were you.
