Having to replace pads: HPS, Ferodo or Carbotech?

I have HP+ right now, but they are too damn noisy, I can't stand them anymore. I was debating between stock Ferodo and HPS when Carbotech came to my attention. Is anyone of you running them? How's the brake, dust and expecially noise?
Thank you all.

Too bad no one's asked this before. Recently.

Ferodo for he front. HPS for the back.

And Wangspeed is right, this could have been easily found using search...

As a consistent AutoX'er and spirited driver almost every time im in the car. I'm using R1 Premium rotors with Oreilly Brake Best Ceramics. I've tried EBC and Hawk and I think this is my best setup yet. Certainly the cheapest.

I'm just looking for good pads that won't squeak. I already had a thread about HPS and stock Ferodo, but then I've came thru Carbotech, and I was wondering if somebody has them and how they are as far as breaking power and squeak. I saw they offer many compounds and I'm wondering which one would be appropriate for what I'm looking for
