I hear the stock rotors were designed to be used with ceramic pads. But anyway, if you want a bit more selection:

I've been using Axxis Ultimates for a few weeks now. No squeeling yet.

This is with Z32 calipers/rotors

I have the same setup. HPS in front and Metal Masters in the back. Back wheels are this nasty brown color. =P

I had the same squealing problem with MM.
Kind of hard to explain - front brake shims on MM have a notch cut in it.
After I put stock shims on the noise went away.
