Default Best Trackday only tyres

I'm off to a 2 day trackday at cadwell next month[1] and the SV needs new tyres, it's been wearing D207RR's for the last few years which I love but although they've still not worn out they're old, a bit of a funny shape and probably done far too many heat cycles!

So what to replace them with?

It's for track use only, never going to see a road, normally fast group, no tyre warmers. Bike is std engine but GSXR USD forks and ohlins rear shock.

I don't have the funds to replace a set of tyres every trackday, I'm not racing and I don't have wets.

I'm torn between
Dunlop D208RR - straight upgrade of the D207RR
Dunlop D209 Qualifier RR - upgrade again of the D208 but looks to have rather less tread, better in the dry, worse in the wet?
Pirelli Supercorsa Pro SC1 front/SC2 rear - I've heard this is what the mini-twin guys use.
Bridgestone BT090 - Ace on the 400's, too much torque on the SV for it?

Any suggestions or comments?
