Different cars and different driving styles warrant different pads. What works well for Jeremy and his Porsche might not work well for me and my Viper. A full out race pad is streetable but will require some warm up time. I've spent thousands of dollars on brake pads, there is no one-size-fits-all.

Here's my opinion for track use.
EBC (green, red, yellow and blue) - little to no dust, horrible stopping power, don't last, very cheap.
Brakeman 3 - decent stopping power, cheap.
Pagid R14 - decent stopping power, won't last a full weekend.
Hawk Blues - stop like a mofo, last for a full track weekend.
PFC 01 - stop like a mofo, last for a full track weekend.

If you see #34 on the road I'm probably running PFC01 on the front and Hawk Blue on the rear. I don't often change them out just to drive up to Winghouse. But they are full race pads and I don't do any "spirited" driving until they are warmed up.

I usually run EBC green on my RT/10. I like the no-dust benefit, cheap, easy on the rotors, for the street and if I do any spirited driving in it I keep aware of the limited stopping power.

As I said, the is no one-size-fits-all.
