I will throw out there that i recently put the nt-05's on........and i have not yet auto crossed them yet but the performance of these tires really shine on dry pavement. There has been nothing but great reviews from them. I believe the tires might be a little cheaper than the star specs as well.
Both the nt-05 and the Star specs are great tires in my book.

I auto-x my evo too, and I'm in desperate need of new tires. I was gonna go with the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 245/45 size (not the new K tire, the old one). They are way cheaper than the star specs. Is the performance of the star spec tire that much better than the RT-615?

+10000 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs.
Also, NT01's are not good auto-x R-Compounds, but more of a track compound.
The best of the best R-Compound for autocross is the Hoosier A6, but wear is quick. Kumho gives up a little grip for longer life, at least this has been my personal experience.

If the Z1's are too expensive, i'd try the Hankook Evo's over the Azenis RT615s.
