I just got green stuff for my wife’s ‘14 sport. It does feel better under braking than it did feel. I just used stock type rotors as it isn’t aggressively driven so no need for better cooling.
Pros: better braking feel

I installed EBC Red Stuff street/track pads on my 2008 Mazda 6 about 10 or so years ago - front pad set only. I selected the Red Stuff pads because I wanted the performance of a trackable pad set, and I got it! The pads were also advertised to be a "low dust" formulation, which we all desire, of.course. I installed them with ceramic pad grease, and did the brake pad bedding procedure as specified by EBC. Prior to installing and bedding the pads, I had the beginnings of very slight front brake pulsation/lateral rotor runout. Believe it or not, this pulsation/runout was resolved after performing the bed in procedure and did not recur. I got the performance increase that I sought - the difference was GREAT, even though I did the front pad set only and the car's stopping power was already good. I found that the pads were not really low dust, at least by my interpretation.
Pros: increased stopping power, resolved pulsation
Cons: not low dust
Vehicle:
Mazda 6

I'm running EBC's GPFAX on my 636 and Vesrah RJL on the R3. EBC is great bang for the buck, plenty of confidence, never had fade, great bite. Far better than OEM.
Pros: great value, good bite, no fade
Part number: GPFAX
I put in cheap ceramic genuine Brembo pads in my Kia, stops on a dime.

I installed R56 front brakes.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:

I have APRacing brakes on my lotus, and they are simply excellent. It definitely crossed my mind to do the upgrade, but they are also pretty pricey.
Pros: simply excellent
Cons: pretty pricey
If you are dead set on not getting some Napa golds or whatever grab some Stoptech Steet pads. They are dusty as hell and wear pretty quick not in stop and go city traffic. I live in the sticks so lots of highway and running the stoptech steets on my Gx sedan they dust up bad and I swap them every 35k~. I do have the sport brake kit on it but I don't see the base calipers making much difference on dust and wear.
Cons: dusty, quick wear
Vehicle:
Infiniti G
Mileage: 35000 km
I got the z23 pads with their drilled slotted rotors. They make a weird clicky noise that's nonstop and gets worse when you brake. It's not loud but audible.
Cons: clicky noise
