Brake pad recommendations?

I have a 2008 Porsche 997TT with stock steel brake system (red calipers). I only have 9500 miles on it and the brakes squeal and squeak quite a bit. I had the Porsche dealership check on them multiple times and they said that there's nothing wrong with the brakes. The dealers and other threads have said that "city driving" would make more brake dust and make the noise worse. The question I have is that this is going to be my daily driver which means lots of city driving with occasional track use. Anyone have recommendations on a different type of brake pad that will make the least amount of noise and yet maintain high performance for track usage occasionally? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately once you start going to a track biased pad (which is harder) you will have a greater chance of squeal. I'd probably stick to OEM.
