MT-90 all the way unless it is a dedicated track car.
But to answer your question, you want the Heavy Shockproof. The lightweight is not recommended for synchronizer transmissions because it is much too slippery and super lightweight is completely unusable with syncronizers. It is like water.

Also ran the heavy and it was a bit too heavy for regular use. It doesn't heat up and protect unless you are flogging the car around quite a bit.
I'd go with the mt or a 50/50 mix of mt/heavy like Ben said.

Hmm interesting.
I always thought the lightweight was just a thinner version of the heavy stuff.It seems like if you mixed heavy with MT-90 you have basically the same as lightweight
I have been running lightweight in my last two cars,after doing alot of searching and speaking with redline on the phone.They say its safe for our synchros.
32,000 on a VE ,and 25,000 so far on my DE.
I have yet to scratch a gear or have any tranny problems.
I cant speak for turbo cars,or big power,but I drive my cars pretty hard at times,and autocross,etc.
