C4S Brake Pad Recommendation

Need to do my Front Brakes from Next Summer.
Factory Rotor's will have 150+km on them by Summer 2012.
Factory Pad's will have about 75-80+km on them by Summer 2012.
Pads were Replaced with Genuine Porsche (Textar) Pads at around 70km about 4 years ago.

Getting Sebro Rotor's but im stuck at which Pads to get.
Please if anyone has any experieance with the pads listed below, other than Factory Porsche Pads, please give us your Review.
Getting my Parts from www.ecstuning.com

1) PBR Metal Master - $63.40

2) Textar - $99.07 (I belive these are the same Pads as Genuine Porsche that you would by from the Dealer. Also same Pads as Mentix Red's and Pagid i believe)

3) NPN - $107.29

4) ATE - $124.54

5) Genuine Porsche - $190.99 from Suncoast/Sonnen (I believe these are "Textar" Pads, just Twice the Price)

I swapped over to Hawk HPS Ferro-Carbon pads about 2500 miles ago, replacing the car's original (Brembo) pads. They have the same stopping power as the originals, as quiet as the originals, but are far cleaner. Too early to tell about pad life.

Price wise they were more expensive than the Textar's but less than Genuine Porsche.

I swapped over to these based on reviews on several Porsche forums. I'm glad I did.

Anyone tried the PBR Metal Masters on Porsches? I had them on my Passat 1.8T and was very very happy with them.
