Default What are the best low dust brake pads?

I'm looking to get some new brake pads for my car. I just put on drilles/slotted rotors. There is brake dust on the wheels and the side of the car. It's bad. What is a good very low dust pad?

I've heard good things about the Hawk Ceramic pads, less dust than the HPS but still good bite.

Ceramic pads yes! But you will lose a few points in stopping power.

I'm running Baer EradiSpeed rotors which are drilled and slotted and I'm also running the Hawk ceramic pads. I have VERY low dust! However, they do seem to have a slight "roar" when decelerating quickly...I don't know if I have another issue going on, or if that's just part of having a low dusting pad in combination with a drilled/slotted rotor.
