I would recommend Hawk HPS pads. They bite instantly, so they could be a little noisy if you don't grease the backs. They aren't great on dust, but you will always have a lot of brake dust due to the size of the brakes. The performance is probably the best available for non race applications. I have never experienced brake fade, but I do have a heavily modified brake system.

I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.
R32 front brakes with hawk pads (installed at 25k)
Hawk HPS are outstanding, good bite with very linear feel and low dust
I've been happy with my Hawk HPS. I don't track my car, but they handle the dragon fine.
I use Hawk HP Plus pads on track days. They bite great when cold and can take some punishment. They howl like a banshee during normal braking
All the people complaining about the noise of the Hawk, i cannot say that i experience the same result. They are a little squeakier than the OEM pads of course, but they aren't like full on race brake loud like people have reported. Maybe my experience is the outlier here, because i was really happy actually with them on the track
The hawk hps are great. The dust is really easy to clean. I argee the initial bite is not as good as stock. Do not use on the track i over heated them as well.
I was at the track this weekend and basically, even with the hawk blues, the brakes just don't provide the clamping I need.
