Default Rotor preserving brake pads?

Ok, my pads and rotors are soon to be toast, and have to be replaced. Prior to this, I've been closely following all posts regarding aftermarket pads like Pagids, Hawks, etc, etc. I never really felt the need for them, as I could still threshold brake or even trigger the ABS on straight line braking at speed, even with track tires on. Anyone who knows the Mid-Ohio track knows you need alll the brakes you have to haul it in from 130-140 mph at the end of the back straight to make that sharp right hander before the turn at Madness. In short, on the C4S, there is a lot of stopping power with the stock brakes, even with track tires.

So, since I am not looking for stopping power, what I am now looking for is longevity. Anyone with any comment as to which pads last longer, or which pad preserves the rotors better, or anything in the same vein?

Thanks!!

Longivity for the brake pads/rotors ahead of longivity for the driver?

That's different.

I saw a kevlar brake pad on the net. I know kevlar is a great material but I don't know if the pads last longer. Search on google.....
