I have thought about something like what you have listed.
My bottom line, I want to be able to cut decent 60' times at the track. I don't necessarily need the 1.3-1.5 from slicks, but I would like to get consistent 1.6-1.7 times that an AWD car should be capable of (keep in mind, taking out of the equation driving skill, that is another topic lol).
I am not crazy about the small brakes either, which is why I am asking. But many people on the national forums said even wide sticky summer tires like star specs or others won't cut great times. Most guys recommend if you are serious about getting times, get some 17's and slicks. I was trying to find a middle ground.
I don't honestly drive the car a ton and I "could" make it into a dedicated drag car but not sure I want to. I still want to be able to do things like the mitsu cruise etc, which I will need brakes for.

For Evo's the biggest concern is the tire diameter, You want to get the biggest diameter you can so you don't need to shift to 5th to finish, this is of course with trap speeds assumed in the 120 range. 17's or 18's really don't make much of a difference in 60 ft times as Ron @ RS has shown me.
