I did some trackdays and a few rounds of dual sprints on 123s on civic. They definitely stick better than a road tyre and worked well until about 7-8 laps in when they would get slippery, much like the road tyres I've done similar events with. I got mine for 120ea also, can't really beat that price eh!
I imagine maybe the nittos would last better in longer sessions, but if you are only doing sprints then either will be good.
