Need help with tire choice

I have cheap tires on my truck now(I did not pick them) 295/30/24 and im not putting them back on. So ive been looking at 285/30/24 nittos and ive heard good things about them. My friend has a hookup so i can get the nittos for 200 a piece, and he said he can get nexens for 100-110 a piece. I dont know much about nexens, so do i get nexens or nittos? Which is better on tread wear, handling, ride, noise etc?
 
From what ive heard about nexen they are not great tires, no personal experience though. Nittos ftw, you get what you pay for.
