If you are using the Hawk HPS for road course use, that's making the dust worse (because it's way beyond what they are meant to deal with).
Clean and power are not things that go together. Look at the wheels of german cars, they are always dirty because they have pads that work and stop the car.
HPS dust isn't that bad if you don't glaze them, and track use will. It cleans up easily. I find Hawk Ceramics to be no more clean than HPS.

I now use Wagner Thermos on all of my cars. They never squeal, never notice hard spots, rotors don't get grooved, and the material is lighter brown which makes a very light tan dust which hardly is noticable compared to some out there. And they also stop very nicely and come with new stainless caliper slides.

Powerstop Z16 Evolution Ceramic pads offer good friction characteristics and very low dust. You can search some of the sales threads I've had for peoples reviews on the pads. I also agree with Sam, high mu (friction) and low dust don't usually go together.
