I would pick RC1/NT01 for a dedicated HPDE car... though I'd only recommend them to experienced drivers, as they are more forgiving than street tires and mask bad driving more easily.

I haven't had any consistency issues with the AD08s or the Star Specs even in 30 minute sessions in 85F weather and driving them right on the edge... RE11As did have some consistency issues, but then so do R888s which are "r-comps".
But yes, I love the NT01s; super consistent and a good 2sec faster at the Ridge Motorsports Park. But, I personally have more fun with the AD08s/Star Specs. They aren't as sticky so I makes the car that much more enjoyable for me and they last about twice as long for roughly the same price.
