If you were going to base it off stats alone TLR or Mugen would be the way to go. Why is it that everybody gets into a pissing match with brands? Just because you didn't have good luck with one brand or it didn't fit your driving style doesn't mean everybody drives like you and has your same misfortunes. For instance I drove TLR all last season good car doesn't fit my driving style very well doesn't mean its a piece just didn't work for me. The guys fortunate enough to have several brands at your track drive them all and make your judgements then. That's my $.2 if it means anything.
