best brake pads for 996?

Of course this may be opinion, but I'm looking for some test data. What are the best street/track pads available for 996? The BHP XPS pads are made only for Porsches and look to have all the best. They also provide real test data to back them up.

Anyone use XPS pads? Know of test data?

Anyone have an opinion on EBC RedStuff Ceramic ?
My "wear limit" light came on today. It's difficult to find decent advice on brake pads.

My usage would be street, with occasional "mad half hour" driving.

I'm happy with the stock pads, but wouldn't mind getting a little better braking power, possibly with less powder.

Any ideas ?

I'm running the Mintex Red Box. They are affordable (less than $100 for all 4 corners). I didn't need to change brake pads, but I wanted less dust.

They drive like stock pads on the street, but I haven't tracked them. If I did a track event, I would switch to some type of race pads (it's that easy to change pads).

But in the end, I don't think the dust is that much less than stock especially compared to my 300C that gives off zero dust with the stock pads.
