If you're 'happy' with the ride with Runflats stay there. If not definitely move on...

Either buy a spare wheel or a tube of tyre-gunge for emergencies...

Do not under any circumstances mix RFT's and non RFT's.
The handling characteristics are very different and may cause handling problems for you.
Personally I got rid of my RFT bridgestones for Goodyear GS D3's non RFT.
I am much happier with the ride and handling.
Continental SC2's are also a good option.
