I'm assuming these are for street use... The Nitto NT05 and all the tires from this review (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...irePageLocQty=)
provide the among the highest level of grip for street tires at the expense of lower tire tread life. I'd use those on the track, seems a bit overkill for DD. It depends on what you want.
I'd prefer the yokohama s.drive (UTQG 300 AA A) and the vredestein (UTQG 280 AA A) for street use.

Lots of performance classes mentioned that do different things. The S-Drive will offer the best practical daily driving experience. Great mild performance tire that will provide good life and ride. The Sumitomo is a step up in performance class and will give better dry but trade life and ride. Those have been giving the more expensive tires a real run for their money. Finally, the Dunlop is basically a step below a competition tire that you can drive on the street. It tosses ride, life, wet traction, etc to the wind for dry traction and steering response. Awesome tire but in a very small niche way.
Unless you are pushing the car all the time every day or do some auto-x on the weekends I think the Dunlop is a tad overkill. I'd look at the Sumi or Yoko for a good tire that wont kill you or your wallet every 10K miles.
