I have different brands on back and front 95% of the time - always a soft one up front. Currently have a diablo up front and a...oh, dunno what's on the back. Got a Michelin on the spare rear wheel, but the one bike is something else. - get my tyres from wreckers.
If mixing is going to be a problem, I would say more likely in the wet - the manufacturers say the tread on matching tyres is designed to disperse water better.
I had one of those fancy Dunlops - NO GRIP WHATSOEVER until warm. Bike got stranded at the bottom of the slope to my house, as couldn't grip on leaves and grass. <i></i>
