I like my Q2's but for all I know they are up to Q7 gangham style super glows by now.

I've been running BT-016s on the street and like them, good grip, cheap price at a local place,and acceptable wear. If you liked them previously why not go with them again, or you could try the new S20 which is still under $300 a set.

I can't answer directly about a track tire but the two people I know who ride track a lot have stayed with Michelin, either the regular old Pilot Power or the old Power Race if they don't need the DOT stamp of approval. Of course they can also often get take-offs for dirt cheap ($60 a tire with 5 or 6 laps) and the Pilot Powers are under $250 brand new.

Whelp, just signed up for a track day at Laguna Seca, so I'm considering a set of takeoffs instead.
