HPS: Good for DD and some heavier use. Doesn't put off much dust.
HP+: Good for the track. Will squeal during DD (need to be warmer than DD temps) and may score rotors.
Ceramic: Not much advantage other than less dust IMO.

Stick with the stock pads for the front they are Ferodo pads and they are honestly a top notch pad especially if you just want a pad that will see 99% street use and maybe 1% track use.
As for the rears the HPS are probably your best bet, they are a better compound then the stockers and they don't squeal alot either.
That's the set up I have and I spend 99% of my time on the street but I do hit up some Solo-II Autocross a few times a season.

I'm not sure what's been up with my brakes lately but they just dont feel strong at all. I have been driving ont he factory brakes for about 2 years now and i'm due for a full set. sounds like HPS is the next move.
