Tim, no FIA here, but I will offer some basic truths on the two rears: Unless you track your car really hard, you are likely to never have to change your inboard brake pads in your lifetime... and if you do, it'll probably be only once. To appreciate the performance difference of the ERA rear over the standard rear you're going to have to take the car close to its limits; most of us never do that. Outboard brakes are cooler looking and more original, but the ERA rear costs more. In making your decision you must balance the additional cost against the almost imperceptible peformance gain coupled with the increase coolness factor of the outboard brakes, along with the ease of pad maintenance, which is balanced against the fact that you probably will never have to replace them anyway.
FWIW, I went with the ERA rear.
