Which is a better "econimical" track tire...Yokohama or Kumho?

I know debates will rage on forever regarding track tires. I am trying to sort out which to buy and who better to ask than the world of Pelican. My first full season with the '83. Had A032R last year.

I am doing 8-10 DE days and several Auto-X in the course of a year. I will street the car to and from track/auto-x and some 2k-3k of fun driving. I know the Hoosier is fast and light but it's also expensive and in no way can be street driven. Michelin is the new kid but I don't think they would be street friendly either and are also expensive but are supposed to last.

My set up is a '83SC with 17x8 front, 9 rear. Torsion bars are 22 front, 28 rear. Weltmeister bars. Poly/Delrin/Monoball bushings.

So that leaves Yoko and Kumho to choose from.
