Brake Pad time

Well it appears its time for new pads, the fronts are doing pretty good, but I'm getting a little squeak from the rear (like when the indicator is dragging on the rotor). I'll be replacing them as a complete set all the way around along with new rotors and getting the old fluid purged and replaced with new stuff as well.

So my question is this, does anybody have a reccomendation for pads? I dont have a problem with the factory pad and dust and I've been very satisfied with thier performance so sticking with the factory pad is fine, if there is a pad out there that offers the same or better performance with less dust, that'd be a bonus, but I dont want to compromise brake performance and while I dont track the car generally, there are times I use the brakes really hard so going with a pad that lasts longer, makes less dust, and or makes less noise is not an option if it doesn't meet or exceed OEM performance.

EBC Red will dust less, have a bit better bite on the street, don't know about longevity as I burned up my set on the track. Avoid the StopTech street pads if dust is a concern -- much worse than stock.

Any particular flavor? I hear the ceramics dust minimally and are quiet, but the bite of the HPS is much better.
