In the end its your money,your car. Buy whichever ones you like, but the star specs are a really great tire and all the faster cars are using them out here. I have been using them all season and am really happy with the star specs. Out of all the tires I have used these have worked the best. They are not as finicky about tire pressures when they get hot as much as the ecsta xs's were( I know it wasnt on your list). They dont squeal as much at the limit, give excellent traction, and although is not a rain tire it incorporates dunlops signature directional tread design which is better for wet than a assymetrical. So if you happen to do an autox or track day with it being a bit wet you have a little more margin of grip.
I dont have experience with the nt05 or re11, but one thing I have found to look out for is the quality of the material used in the tires itself. The dunlops have stayed soft during this race season whereas the ecstas I had last season were progressively turning into rocks with more heat cycles. Its not bad to try something else, its just money. I would say try the re11, imo a higher quality tire than nitto.
