When I painted my Volks white I went with Axxis Deluxe Plus on the recommendation from a friend at Stoptech. They were pretty good for me in my 4 pots. Zero dust, no noise, never faded them although I didn't push them super hard. I did coast down the back side of Mt Rose highway once a week without using the engine to slow... at least I did until I only made the trip up the hill and not down a few weeks ago. Anyways, the Deluxe plus are great cheap, non-dust, non-noisy pads, but also get a set for dedicated track/autocross/hard driving days since you will probably fade them and make them useless pretty easily with that kind of driving. For that I used Stoptech Club Spec pads, and I loved them. One set lasted me 2 track days, a bunch of autocrosses, and had lots of life left still. They bit well cold and hot and I never got a hint of fade. They were pretty dusty and noisy when cold (mildly warm actually was worst) but that can be said about any decent performance pad really.
