You're asking which is the best compromise. But, why do you want to compromise on your brakes?

Buy a set for track and a set for street.

It takes about 1 hr. (or less) to swap the pads, and the Track pads will have ample time to bed-in on the way to the track. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to inspect everything and make sure the wheels are accurately torqued - a good idea when running high speed.

Using too agressive a pad on the street will cause stopping performance to suffer until the pads are well heated and raise the likelyhood of squeal. They will also eat through your rotors much more quickly just for the sake of a few annual tracks days.

Cheers!
