I'll ask the question for someone else to answer but i'm using textar.
What is the usage for your car? It will probably drive the answers as street pads don't have the same working temperature as track pads.
Plus other factors you might want or not is the dust, noise level and the aggressiveness on the rotor ( the speed at which it will eat away your disks)

I am interested in the answers here too. Have been using Textar for mine, just street use and no track. The amount of dust they create on my car, even with just light use, is significant. I would love to find an alternative that produces less dust.

I put over 40k miles on a set of cheap PBR pads. Extremely low dust, no squeal, and the feel is just as good as any. I wouldn't expect them to last long on a track day, but I can't imagine anything better for the street.
My current stoptech sport/309 pads on a 993 caliper upgrade are extremely dusty, but they should hold up pretty well for track days. They also took a few hundred miles to get rid of the squeal after bedding them in. Brake feel on the street is essentially identical to the 964 calipers and cheap PBR pads.
Don't forget to thoroughly flush the fluid while you're in there.
