Can't go wrong with Pilot Powers (less expensive) or Diablo Corsa (KICKASS).

How new is new?

Depends on how much you want to spend and what it's going to be used for. For the street I would say the Pilot Powers.

I'm itching to try out my Ractecs though.

me too. plus, them having the offer where they'll give you the front tire for free makes it that much more tempting.
