I was a huge fan of Ferodo DS2500s on Centric rotors. They performed insanely well for street duty and were decent enough for track days.
Ferodo DS2500 is about the best pad you can get.
I've got OE spec ferodo on my 208 GTi no complaints from me, got brembo on my Saab 9-5 aero again all good I would avoid the cheaper end of the market
I went with Dynamic Friction instead after hearing lots of negative feedback, so far very happy 6 mo later. I drive fast and they stop very well. Does produce quite a bit of brake dust though.
I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
Ferodo DS2500 were good in my daily/tracked GTI and track NB Miata, until I got GLOC track pads on the latter. Which are awesome. BUT the DS2500 held up to the track really well, I'd definitely say for a daily that gets tracked they're about as good as you might get. Grease the contact points on the pad with copper or other compatible grease and i think they don't make much noise at all.
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
i’ve ran ferrodo ds2500 on my gli, they worked well as a hybrid street/track pad but would fade a bit after a few hard sessions
DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.
2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
