The EBC Greens have been very good, and I haven't worn out any rotors yet. I would however second the Axxis Ultimates vote from everything I have read on the WRX, 3S, and Miata sites... They are universally loved with few if any naysayers.

None of the performance pads have friendly dust no matter what the manufacturers say. I have tried just about every performance pad except Axxis including EBC, Porterfield, Hawk, Wilwood, etc. and they all are nasty, especially after a track day because the stuff is practically molten as it flies into your rims at about 100MPH...

The only way I know of to deal with dust is to clean your wheels, and take the time to put a couple coats of good wax on them. This way the wax is sacrificial instead of the wheel finish. But I'm to lazy to wax my car much less the wheels.
