What type of carbon? 1k,2k,3k, or 12k?

In this link you can see the characteristics of each carbon type.But what should i choose?This year i will keep doing sprint training or pursuits of 2km.So i think i need a very stiff bike.But next year i will stop sprinting training and i will do a lot of kilometres(about 3 hours per day) including a lot of ascent parts.Also i will race a lot of circuits and races of 180km(with ascent parts.So i think to buy a bike for my next years training and not for this years training.What should i choose without considering the price.
Well, I am about to explode a myth.
The "k" refers to the weave of the fiber and is usually only on the surface for cosmetics. In order to provide some precision when laying up a frame all inner layers are typically UD, or unidirectional. There is no strength or stiffness difference between the weaves REGARDLESS of the propaganda issued by various companies. How do I know? I design this stuff for a living.
If it really made a difference then jets and race cars would also use woven material and it would be used on multiple layers but they don't and it isn't.
In short, get the one you think looks the best... all other things being equal.
