Should I go with "not guilty" and "no contest?" Going not guilty will make more sense since I didn't brake any laws.

You cannot plead "not guilty" AND "no contest"--the two are opposite. Not guilty means you do not feel you have done anything to warrant the ticket. No contest means you do not dispute that the ticket is correct.
I would go to court and plead not guilty and explain why--keeping in mind that the police do not have to inform you of WHY they are stopping you. If you acknowledge that fact to the judge, but point out it would have been a nice courtesy if they had told you, especially since you were left sitting ( literally ) for an appreciable period of time, he may see "your point" more than if you go to court acting as though you were ENTITLED to an explanation.
I would plead not guilty and explain why you feel you did nothing wrong.
