- After one or two track days or autox's, VSC ON may be faster (YMMV). You're better at modulating throttle input but still make rather big mistakes once in a while. Having VSC ON increases the slip angle threshold before the computer kicks in, so now you can corner faster.
- As you gain seat time and start going faster and faster, TC becomes too intrusive, literally slowing you down. So at this point you turn it off.
I think if you have to ask, then leave the aids on. When it's time to turn them off, you'll know.
On the street I leave everything on, save for one or two canyons that I know very well and trigger the TC even at moderate speeds.

I've had my car for 10 months now and feel very confident taking it around corners. I've only played with the TC once and used it to slide around in a parking lot.
Even when I feel fine driving the car with TC on, I still don't know what to expect with TC off ( due to my lack of experience). So I don't know exactly when to start driving with it off. How would you know you are ready without trying it?
