My choices are:

265 - 55 - 19

or

255 - 60 - 19

Which one do you recommend and why?

I had Michelin LTX M/S 285 55 18 last year. Worked OK, worse than the winter tires on a Range Rover i drove, but probably due to the suspension differences.

Switched to studded (in Russia they are legal) Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 SUV 285/60/18 this year, but have little experience yet.

I would go with 275 or 285 size. Works well. If you go with 255 or 265 - they will look skinny.
