Default Best allround track day tyres? 195/50x15

Ok So whats best tyres for an all rounder on track days? I need to buy some for the pug but want something suitable for both wet and dry circuits. What are peoples thoughts? I'll be running on a 195/50x15.

R888's are good
PF Dave was flying on them at National day in the rain, i wasn't brave enough to put mine on
Think Claire from Durham group (orange pug at Croft) preferred them in the wet to her other road tyres, which she thought would be better, when i asked her about them in the rain
