my cars are not on your list but guess what is my daily driver, my mitsubishi galant sigma to work. no worries about scratches, being keyed, door dinged and I can leave it in the parking structure when I'm on call. 
What could possible be a Better Daily Driver then a V8 and an Auto, Meh I am spoiled by my E500, car is **** and just as fast as the Evo stock (from a roll, probably pull after 100 too.)
Mark, get a G35 coupe. Super sexy, not losing one ounce of street cred switching between both cars. I don't mean the "impress the ricers" street cred, I just mean that feeling you get driving a fine machine. I just experienced the lack thereof during my 3 days with a base Sentra while my Evo was getting the new bumper installed.
I test drove a G35 coupe with the automatic. It felt nice, acceleration was good and it's perfect for dates, stop-and-go traffic, etc.
Just don't get one in white...

TL cause its 6speed and its a sweet car. 350Z is RWD and a two seater so its not a good daily driver.
how about Lotus Elise or Honda S2000 for the weekends, and Evo for daily driver

Unless you are rolling around in money, I agree that you should just get the Acura. I test drove one when I bought my TSX and its got good power (270hp), the interior is nice and the thing will last a million miles. I settled with the TSX simply because its smaller and I am not a big fan of Navigation systems so I got the TSX 6-speed without Navi. It's your daily driver not your sports/race car. Get the TL and use the EVO to have fun. It's not like the TL would be boring anyway.
The TL wins in my book hands down. The benefit of the extra 2 doors alone makes it better. Honda reliability, good looks, ample power and handling (the A spec package is very good albeit a bit pricey).
If you consider a G35 sedan, it'd be a tougher choice for me.
