If they’re readily available? Dixcel is for us the perfect blend of track/street usage. Dixcel S, or Dixcel Z if you can live with the little squeak.
Pros: good track/street blend
Cons: slight squeak

Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.
Pros: ultra low dust, great street
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 2414 km
Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.
Pros: stops better, less dust
Cons: squeal at higher temps
Vehicle:
BMW
I personally run Dixcel FC rotors on the front and Dixcel FS rotors on the rear of my GT-T with Dixcel S Type pads all around. Can't complain for the trackwork it sees, performance and price.
Pros: good performance, affordable price
I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.
Pros: quiet, wide temp range
Cons: a bit dusty
I'm about to change my wheels. Was also thinking about brake discs. I think I might replace them, was thinking of getting slightly better discs and pads. I know it's not necessary but I might as well. Was thinking about Dixcel FS discs and ES pads. Maybe even get steel brake lines. I do tend to drive my car harder on the canyon/mountain roads and I like to brake late. Would be nice to have something a little extra. Plus they look nicer than the stock discs.
Pros: look nicer, better braking
Vehicle:
Mazda 5
I've used a few differed brake fluids. Motul is... fine. Dixcel 5.1 + braided lines + good race pads, has worked for me best at the track.
Pros: works well at track
Cons: Motul is fine
Vehicle:
Toyota
personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO
Pros: best upgrade option
had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.
Cons: brake smoking, substance buildup
Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.
Pros: feel the difference a bit
Cons: power wise not enough
