I've never actually ordered from them before (we still haven't placed our order), but Team 1619 recommended PVC Herringbone and SuperGrip Green (neither of which are on that PDF).

It probably also depends on your team's budget. If a set of treads doesn't need to last the entire competition season, then I'd go with PVC Blue for the "very high friction on smooth surfaces" or the Supergrip Blue. If the game is rough enough on the treads, though, then they might wear out 1 or more times and you'll need to buy spares (the ones with higher abrasion resistance but lower traction might save you from that, but there's no way to know other than experience).
