All depends how you drive guys.
I personally don't think Green or Redstuff have any place on a turbo'd Impreza.
Yellow Stuff were better, Blue stuff NDX much better, BUT I find Yellow and Blue Stuff pads to be incredibly dusty - comparable to Ferodo DS2500's in so far as they get your wheels dirty quick.
The Kevlar pads I previously ran from Aztec Performance were better dust-wise, but less capable than the blue stuff pads.
All depends whether you want to compromise your braking for cleaner wheels
I'm on Blue Stuff NDX with K-Sports, marked improvement over yellow stuff on standard WRX calipers!

However, I'd still say use at least yellow stuff for the WRX / STI models, just because you might need to do a hard stop from high speed and with red stuff I suspect you'd have more of a job.
In fairness to you though mate, you've answered the OP's question

As said if you want to stop then your going to get dust. I've tried nearly all of the compounds over the years and finding the new Bluestuff pads very good for stopping and not too much dust.
If it bothers you, buy dark coloured wheels

Indeed, swapped from silver to anthracite wheels - better than any pad change for not showing dust!
