Pretty much all brands of tires will perform comparable and tread pattern selection is close enough to where it comes down to pin selection, then compound.
For dry blue groove, I do better with a block style pin and depending on temperature I might go with a thicker/thinner pin depending on how much I need the pins to fold over or not.
I typically run only Super Soft or Soft compounds in electric classes that are limited to 10 min mains and I never run Medium compound tires no matter how hot it gets here in Texas. Super Soft does well with a thicker pin when temps drop below 50°. I might go with a thinner pin soft compound tire as temps approach the 60° range then go back to a thicker pin as temps go above 80°.
Brands like ProLine offer sub-compounds, like M,S,X series which is nice to use the same pin style but only switch sub-compound based on temps.
I currently run James tires and will switch between "Dot Evo" and "Wasper" tires when I'm referring to pin size, and I will use Sticky Kicks Yellow tire sauce if I need to get my tires to soften to a "sub-compound" to get similar effects of what ProLine offers. I don't always sauce my tires, it all depends on what the track is doing for me that day... weather is the biggest factor in my tire/sauce selection.
I have tried pretty much most tread patterns from brands like AKA, JConcepts, ProLine as well as budget brands like James and 6MIK... for the most part they all perform about the same provided you select a proper pin/compound. Each brand is slightly different in compound so on any given day, one brand might do better than another depending on track condition and ambient temps.
It wouldn't hurt to keep a couple different brands of tires to see which is doing better on a given day.
I've grown to trust James soft compound lately but also keep some ProLine M3 and S3 compounds just in case.
The club in my area changes layouts fairly often so it can be a challenge to keep track of which tire is running fast for a given day, on a fresh layout I will run a different compound every qual until I figure out which one is the fastest to run in the mains, but like I said, lately the James Wasper Soft has been my tire of choice for blue groove in my area
As a bonus, James also sells the tires separately to help keep costs down... I will cut off the old treads and re-use the inserts about 2-3 times before they are junked... I'll soak the wheels in acetone for a couple days to dissolve the glue and effortlessly remove the rubber beads and recycle the wheels indefinitely. Over time I might crack/damage a wheel and then I'll elevate the wheel above acetone fumes in a sealed container for a week and that dissolves the glue without damaging the rubber or inserts so I can re-mount the tire on a replacement wheel.
