If I had been wiser and flipped the R-S4's on the rim after the 3rd event I probably could've made them last another 2 weekends, since it was mainly the outer shoulders that were gone and starting to chunk. I wouldn't mind going with R-S4's again, but kind of want to see what else might be good to try and have a decent lifetime.

The RS4s should have the best life for the extreme summer performance tire class. I'm almost positive the RE-71Rs will wear out far sooner than the Hankook RS4s.

You're wearing out the outer shoulders of the RS4? Does your front require more camber?
