KDW's are awful track tires. The only BFG tire I would recommend for street/occasional track use is the new Rival.

No track experience as they are on my daily, but Nitto NT05 have been nothing but great to me. Perfect for spirited driving on the weekends.

Toyo R888's won't last very long but they stick. I would go with BFG Rival's, Dunlop Dirreza ZII, Bridgestone R-11, Hankook RS3's , Yoko Ad03 can't really go wrong with any of those just depends what your budget is?

For the track? Not a very good choice. It can be done, but you'll experience a lot more understeer, and it will only get greasier. Turn-in isn't nearly as good even when DDing. But they last long.

Michelin Super Sports. Have not tracked them yet, but they are great in daily conditions and once warmed up are sticky and communicative.

The Rivals have excellent wear characteristics.

Hankook V12 Evo aren't a great pick as mentioned by someone else.

BFG Rivals, Hankook RS3, Dunlop ZIIs, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports are all solid choices.
