I'd like to pick one of the offerings from StopTech (for obvious reasons). StopTech currently carries these pads for their ST-40 calipers:

Hawk HT-10
Hawk HT-14
Pagid RS-14 Black
Performance Friction 01 Compound
Performance Friction 97 Compound
Ferodo DS3000
HT-10 & 14 are no-joke race pads; they will not grip well when cold. Pads that aggressive will also eat through the rotors if you use them at low temperatures. Expect to see accelerated rotor wear if you drive to and from events with those pads. I'd just plan on swapping pads at the events; with ST calipers it's really easy.
