I need them for Auto-X/Weekend Warrior driving. They would also be my main tires for the summer.

Has anyone used either of the 3 listed above and could give me some input on what they know/think? I have looked at the ratings on 1010tires.com but i dont think they're 100% accurate as i believe the ratings are generated off user-reviews. Which would mean whatever tire has the most reviews would have the higher rating. I could be wrong but thats how it looks.

If he's looking at Azenis tires, those aren't even the same class. The Azenis are pretty much hardcore Autocross tires. A large number of serious Autocrossers run Azenis tires. I wouldn't buy from 1010 tire, though. EdgeRacing.com is much cheaper, especially for Falken tires.

Just wanna check 205/50/15 and 205/55/15 both tires should fit on a 15x6.5 rim right?

Yes. Of course. Both are the same width. Since you've got a V6, stick with the 205/55/15 if it's for daily use since this will keep your speedo true. If it's a track car, though, you can usually save alot of money getting 205/50/15 since they're a standard Miata size for track use.

That is also the summer tire I use. My second set is just about to be put on. Last set only lasted 2 summers though.

After running Pirellis and Kumhos I have the Toyo T1-S on my Porsche. I chose it over the Yoko ES100. Enjoyed it enough that I went with Toyo winter rubber on the MX-3

I have tried Toyo T1S, crappiest tire ever.
2 months of normal (not spirited) driving, and they were totally worn out.
Also, they were dangerous in wet conditions (almost no grip at all).

Falken FK-451 & ZE-502, was actually better, but worn out too fast, and not the best grip.

Goodyear Eagle F1 - excellent tire, long treadlife (even with spirited driving)

Pirelli P-Zero Nero - the best I`ve ever used, extremely good traction on both dry and wet. I`m running 215/35-18, and I`m on my 3rd season with them now, so they actually last long aswell.
I`m definetely going with these next time aswell.
