We use the Pilot sport cups in the dry, and the Toyos in the wet.  They're ok.  The have too much tread to be a serious track tire.  No one uses them in club racing.  They might be ok for what you're doing, but the Cups are the same price and will last longer, no doubt.  The Victoracers are cheap, and show - they aren't great as a long term track tire.  The Hoosiers are awesome the first ten times you use them (ten heat cycles, that is), then quickly degrade.  The V700 is the Victoracer, I believe...there is also still the A032R and a newer relative of it, but overall the Yokohamas don't have the grip of the other tires.
