Best tire for GT3 track / street use

I just picked up a 2004 GT3 to use primarily for track use. I have been driving the last 3 years in DE's and Time Trials with NASA in a fully track prepped Nissan GTR. My plan is to run the GT3 in DE's for a while in 2012 to see if it's the car to replace my GTR permanently. Presently the car has Advans on it but I wanted to get some input on whether to go back with this tire or a different one. I will drive it some on the street on a limited occasion but it will primarily by used on track. Suggestions?

Nittos are very loud, but are great track tires. Michelin sport cups would be nice, near as much grip as the nittos without nearly as much noise.

Michelin Sport Cups, Pirelli Corsa Systems, Bridgestone RE11's and now the Michelin Supersports are the usual suspects for track/street tires.

Sport Cups and Corsas fit the bill but don't last long. RE-11 seems to be a good compromise and much longer lived. Super Sports look promising too.
