Cam, If you are not planning on changing springs etc, the Koni reds will be perfect. I opted for the custom yellows because I do change springs for different circuits etc, therefore the adjustability is really good.
For racing purposes, the externally adjustable is also good for "dialling in" at the track. I picked up nearly 2 secs at Eastern Creek with shock adjustments. I also run different shock settings for wet and dry conditions, again this is handy for quick adjustment just prior to the race. When is your next run at the track?
