I wholeheartedly agree, if it is one of your first few track days, you shouldnt even be thinking about tires (esp r-comps) unless you're riding on UHP all seasons. The street tires are much more progressive and forgiving, which is especially important in the initial learning phase.
And let me be clear, I'm not downplaying the performance of these extreme summer tires. They are undoubtably the best tire you can get before going to r-comps.
HOWEVER, the post was titled "track tire". That being said, an NT01 is a better track tire than any of the aforementioned tires. Having nearly the same grip for 1-2 heat cycles means nothing...thats like half a day (2 30 min sessions). NT01s especially are a great entry level R-comp, as they are just about the cheapest and longest lasting tire that gives better performance than the extreme summer tires, without the expense and short life of Hoosiers.
