I put PowerStop on my tC last year and it's been totally fine.
Pros: totally fine
changing brakes and rotors on the 21 cx5 was the easiest brake job I have ever done haha. All four corners took >3 hours including getting out many unnecessary tools and the after test drive. Parts weren't expensive at all for powerstop pads and raybestos rotors.
Pros: easiest brake job
Cons: took >3 hours
Vehicle:
Mazda
My experience with PowerStop (on my old Mazda 3) is that they tend to have more bite but, wear out quicker and have more brake dust than OEM. That being said, they were quiet and held up fine until they were fully worn down.
Pros: more bite, quiet, held up fine
Cons: wear out quicker, more brake dust

Powerstop = power junk with fancy colors. In no way are powerstop parts better quality than an OEM part.
Cons: power junk, not better than OEM
I feel Powerstop is more hype than “real”. Made in China.
Cons: more hype, made in China

I have their Z23 brake pads and they're solid.
Pros: solid performance
If you think you're going to do some more events, or are adamant that you'd feel more confident with a track type pad, then a good budget track option might be the Powerstop Track Day Spec. Make sure to get the "spec" (PSA-) and not the regular Track Day pads (PST-). I've run these for about 6 events and looks like I can squeeze out one more.
You're safe to run them on the street for the handful of days for the swap around the event, they do have less cold bite, but they still stop you. I mostly don't like them for the street because the dust is pretty intense. A little dusty and noisy, no big deal, but the dust can be very hard to get off your wheels if the dust gets wet later...not unlike concrete.
But they're a decent, budget friendly, track pad. They're something like $100-110 for front set and $90-100 for rear set.
Pros: good budget option, decent longevity
Cons: less cold bite, intense dust
