Circuit flying with a jet and the use of TCAS

If you are doing touch and goes in a jet (or turbo prop/atr kind of plane) with several small planes in the circuit as well, what would you select regarding TCAS? TA/RA, TA only or ALT only?
You are probably outperforming everybody and cessna/pipers are turning in a much more tight circuit. So while you are on final the ones on downwind will be "pretty" close.

I would probably go for ALT only and leave the seperation to the tower controller.
