Have used these for a while now and will be getting them again to pair up with some DBA t3 rotors
Pros: good quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
The street type are great all rounders, reasonable bite and minimal drop off. Pretty low dust and noise, and wear was terrific. The set I had lasted longer than the oem pads I had before them. The performance of the track orientated pads is absolutely insane. The initial bite is like no other pad I've ever had. It drops off a tad but still great stopping power. However dust and noise are pretty terrible.
Pros: low dust, long wear, great bite
Cons: high dust, noise
I'm on stock rotors and calipers and it's all I need. Making 330whp/330wtq and it stops just fine.Stronger initial bite which gives the feeling of stronger brakes. Definitely better than OEM. Zero squeak/squeal with good ceramic lube
Pros: stronger bite, better than OEM
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Subaru
The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.

Pros: ferocious stopping power

I buy a lot of denso parts, gates or continental generally for belts and such. Centric for brakes.
Pros: best one you can get
I live in North Jersey, so a bit warmer than by you but I haven't had problems with ebc red stuff pads. I've had them since last December paired with dba 4000 t3 rotors. They do feel like they don't grip as hard on the very first use each day but other than that no issues. The car is a daily driver.
Pros: no major issues, daily driver
Cons: reduced grip initially
I replaced my brake pads front and rear today with some good quality Ceramic pads. I had just done the fronts a couple months ago but I used some Bosch pads that one of the parts suppliers gave me to try. They were supposed to be their best. They were quiet and smooth but produced crazy dust!
Pros: quiet, smooth
Cons: crazy dust
Depends on what you mean by 'best'. I own a repair shop, and have had the opposite experience with Akebono. IMO, they're junk. They don't stop worth a damn.
Cons: poor stopping power, junk
