Pad recommendations for Brembo Blanks?

I just got a great deal on 4 Brembo Blanks($175.00 shipped-www.importrp.com), and am looking for some recommendations on brake pads--I've run MM's in the past and wasn't satisfied--thanks in advance-

i just bought 4 brembo blanks aswell. I purchased 4 Raybesto's Quiet Stop pads. Only couple hundred miles on them...looking good so far.

If your a regular driver...i would go with Raybestos, Greenstuff, or OEM pads.

i have blanks and ceramic pads. hardly any brake dust. left one squeaks a little. i think that is due to me not cleaning the shims and not greasing properly

I have Hawk HPS pads that where installed and beaded in right- unlike some people who say they suck here on the .org. I have never warped a stock rotor, yes I have tons of heat cracks in them but I do not warp them with the Hawks. I drive very aggressivly ( lets just say tripple digit speeds), I also run autoX and some road racing with these pads and I'm very happy with the results. I run Akebono ProCeramic pads in the back. I got 75K miles out of my OE rear pads, and fronts I change every 25-30K miles. I clean my wheels once a week when I wash the car and they are not all that dusty yet.
