what brake pads to get

I'm wondering what everyones opinon is on brake pads. I consistanly hear the hawk pads getting good reviews. Does anyone have experiance with their ceramic pads.? Any advice would be good. I'm running c5 brakes up front and lt1 brakes in the rear. I'm an aggressize street driver and I plan to do the very ocassional auto-x.
Any recommendations would be nice. Thanks, josh

in the affordable catagory i like the raybestos brute stop and pro stop. They are an excellent stret pad that is widely available. The bendix Ti get good reviews too although i have never used them. I can't comment or the "high perf" pads that sell but RTFC reccommends stillen, i will be using those when i finally get my brake upgrade done.
