in the rwd school of thought you're supposed to have big tires in the back and small in the front assuming u lk drag racing lk i do fwd i dunno thats why i'm here to learn but when i went to see an import meet i saw really fast imports w/ slightly larger slicks on the front and the pizza cutter wheels which look stylish spare tires on the back nothing really big of a difference

For daily driving just keep the same size all around. Depending on what mods you have doing 205/50x15" front and 195/55x15" rear would make the car oversteer and in some cases SNAP oversteer, which is bad for the streets. The car would be even more tail happy in the rain.
Not worth it unless you autocross or do track days.

I want to get into autocross in a bit. I'm just going with the 205/50/15's all the way around. Besides for street if i buy a driectional tire i wouldnt be able to rotate my tires unless the tires were unmounted and then mounted again.
