I always recommend at least a bit of stretch for optimal contact patch and sidewall control which is generally going to be faster and more rewarding with greater feedback than a wider tire on a narrower wheel. Real specs on the tire are critical, side wall specs are far to generic to go by and some tires are designed with stiffer sidewalls so it gets a bit complicated to sort it all out but well worth it.
I would be looking at a tire with known great performance on track, a bit of stretch which means narrower tread than most 215's will have, lowest weight if you have more than one choice, best price and best wear rate if you need to keep them within a budget, etc.
If you post a list of the tires you are interested in we can go over them to help pick the best one.
