Default Wet cold track: RE070 or Falken 452?

Off to Brands Hatch on Nov 20th with MSOC & others. Iv got 2x sets of RE070s, one almost finished & another pretty new. Neither will be any good in cold & wet. Most people say RE070 are good in dry but not in wet, especially if very cold. (I will be taking at least one set of RE070 in case its dry.)

Do you lot think any of two below would better in such weather?
Falken 452
Maybe Toyo Proxy T1R

(Iv not inc Verdestein Ultrasac/Goodyear Eagle F1/MPs2/Yoko Advan Neuvo etc which are all excellent tyres, but too much money after just forking out for RE070's)

RE070 on a cold track are bad combinations (i know ive experienced it) you will need to get a lot of heat into the tyres which can be difficult if its especially cold otherwise the car will have next to no grip so on that basis i would go for the falkens
