We use the A032R medium hards, and the mileage is superb for a "track" tire.
I've heard the A048's are really REALLY soft, and not too many sizes available yet.

I had the A048s.. I must admit that I dont have much experience with "race" tires, but they are extremely soft and grippy. After a bit of hard abuse, you could see where the rubber was actually smeared on the surface of the tire, and tacky to the touch. I cant comment on wear, I didnt have them very long, but I can only attest to them being very grippy.
