Just get weights on them all and go for the lightest.  The brands you're looking at should mean you're not buying sh*te.

If it's in use daily I would go for something like Michelin Cups, over dedicated track tyres.

No one like aquaplaning uncontrollably about in rain and the Michelins will last longer (although I suspect your wallet will feel raped after buying them).

This may help, it's got around 4.5k wheel weights so should get you in the right direction. Opens as and excel document.
