I've been looking into the pebble top tread as well, I feel that it will be a great option for dealing with some of the defenses this year. I however have no experience with the tread and so cannot say exactly.
As for ordering the performance wheels... I feel that for this year it is a must as most teams will find the plastic wheel frames too brittle and easily cracked. In 2013 the andymark KoP wheels had an injection molding issue that made the wheels very easy to shatter the spokes of, I'm hoping that teams decide on a sturdier option than we did that year.
The 8 wheel drive train is an interesting option as it will provide you better traction on many obstacles and even allow you to pass cheval de frise (which auto corrects to shovel the fries on my phone) with relative ease. If on the other hand you were attempting ramparts you may find that you will twist and angle less gracefully than some other drive trains.
