IRS is superior when you have bumps, as one side doesn't affect the other side so much, and has less unsprung weight.
also you can set up camber/castor on the rear wheels better than a live axle.
then again, a de-dion(sp?) rear can also be set up with angles, and has in-between unsprung mass.
for drag, maybe live axle is better as there is less suspension angle change with the forces involved.. for circuit.... maybe IRS is better IF you can set up the camber-curve to suit the car..
for drift... who cares, they are not gripping with the rear anyway  it's all about making the rear slip....
