I love my HT-10s. In fact, I love them so much I just ordered a new set of them for my M3.
Don't tell anyone, but I sometimes am too lazy to change brake pads when I get home from the track, especially if I have a track event in the near future, so I occasionally drive the HT-10s on the street. They work just fine. I haven't noticed any abnormal rotor wear, either.

I think my "like them" comes from them being my first pad to try after the HP+ (my 2nd DE). I ran several sets of them for about 5-6 more DEs from there before switching to the DS3000s and trying the DTCs so I consider them my "benchmark" pad. There's probably better out there and I like some things about other pads more. Sorry, didn't get a chance to compare pads back-to-back at Dunnville, rather embarrassed - I had a stupid/foolish issue where I dropped a used pad deep into the caliper / almost the center of the rotor while changing that wasted a good half hour

So, no, I haven't tried other race pads. But, I do read a lot, and it seems like the HT-10s provide everything that I want and need. Other pads may perform better, but they all seem to have the problem of corrosive dust, which the HT-10s don't have. This is an important point for me, because I don't always wash the wheels & car after a track event immediately, and I sometimes even drive the pads on the street as I stated above.
I'll probably try the Hawk DTC series next. I've heard conflicting reports on whether their dust is corrosive or not...
