Safety Options for HPDE

I am contemplating upgrading my safety options on my 14 Z51 for HPDE, but I reading a ton of disagreements on the right course of action considering I will not have a roll cage and the consequences of a rollover:

Option 1: Harness bar with 6 pt harness, lap belt bar, and HANS
Option 2: Stick with OEM 3 point and Simpson Hybrid Sport HANS (http://simpsonraceproducts.com/hybrid/hybrid-sport/)

I am a novice HDPE and would like to make the most informed decision possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

My opinion: 6-point harnesses are for cars with roll cages.
My opinion: HANS not needed for HPDE.
My opinion: until you have 300 laps, stay on street tires.

I have Simpson "Hans" and have done several HPDE. I'm not sure if that is going to be adequate. Considering a caged track car.... you tube roll over videos scare the **** out of me.
