No personal experience with FK453, Direzza ZII or S.Drives but it depends if you're after shaving seconds off the track, drivability, etc. I'm looking to get Direzza ZII's myself (hopefully this summer) but from what I've read, they're a bit harsher on the road but have TONS of grip.
Pretty sure the Dunlop Z2 or ZII (aka Star Spec 2) is replacement for the Z1 Star Spec. The DZ101s are a budget high performance summer where as the Z1 and Z2's are ultra high performance summer tires.

Z1/Z2's are comparable to Hankook RS3, RT615k, Federal 595 RSR, BF Goodrich Rival

DZ101 is more along the lines of Hankook V12 Evo, and FK452, Yoko S Drives

Major differences in tires, the later are more street while the former are tailored towards track/auto-x that can still be driven on the street.

In terms of reviews right now, the Dunlop ZII, Michelin PS2 are very good performers in the dry. For the more budget oriented build, Nitto NT05 and the Hankook RS3 (if you can find them since theyre on a national back order) are very good as well. Just depends on budget and needs.
