That is very true. For track use I like the Wilwood PolyMatrix-E pad. Very aggressive once you get a little bit of heat in them. Didn't need much heat, just drag the brakes a little on the out lap. But, they were pretty noisy and made a lot of dust.

On the street I like the Wilwood BP-20. Good feel, minimal dust, quiet, and lasted a long time.

Yesterday I ordered some Hawk Ceramic pads. For stopping power a feel, Hawk rates the HP-S, HP 5.0, and the Performance Ceramic as exactly the same. The differences are in temperature operating range, dust, and noise.
