If you're going to drive it on the street often, like 3k+ miles a year, not 300, I would just do a four point. It might not be ideal for the track, but I think you should tailor the car for where it is going to see the majority of its time. You need to think about what is going to be safest for you most often. After that, you'll have to compromise on the other end. I drive my car often enough on the street that I think there is a greater chance of me having (another) accident on the street than there is on the track. While there is obviously no replacement for safety items like a full cage on the race track, perhaps the second greatest part of having a safe weekend track car is a safe driver that is always aware of the limitations of what he or she is driving.
