Default Which Pads HPS or Ceramic??

I need new front brake pads-I have Baer calipers and cross drilled rotors right now, and what I believe is the EBC red pads. The previous owner installed all this stuff. I am going to get the rotors cut and want to get new pads. I want something that stops well but has very litte dust. I did a search and came up with two different pads.

1) Hawk HPS Pads
or
2) Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads

heres the link:

According to tirerack the HPS stop better but the Ceramics have less dust and stop a little less than the HPS.

Which would you guys recommend??

Thanks!

Im running the HPS pads and they are MUCH better than the stockers. They dont dust too bad, and wont be a problem if you wash your car often. Oh and also they are quiet too.

I get some moderate dusting with Hawks HPS. Next time I will go with Hawk ceramic.

Default Pads

WS SIKZ-please repost with your results. I clean my car but really hate brake dust. I know alot of people are running the HPS with good results but dusting as well.
