Avoid the EBC's like the plague, you'd be better off with pigeon poo in your calipers.
The Mintex's are good, so are Ferodo DS2500 and Pagid RS4.2-1. For me, the Pagids produce the best combination of cold bite, pedal feel and fade resistance, but no matter which of these three you choose, you'll be happy.
As for dust, they all produce dust, the EBC's included. The only answer is to wax your wheels, and clean them when they get dirty.
If you fancy the Pagids, you could do worse than call Performance Braking, on 01600 713117. Great prices, and great people.

I used to use Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection, but I tried Zymol cleaner wax last time and it's lasted ages . Crud just wipes off with normal car shampoo and a sponge.
Just don't use an aggressive detergent/cleaner on the wheels after you've waxed, as the detergent will take it all straight off!

I have EBC GREENS in front calipers on my01 wrx and find there is no difference in slowing down as to the standard scooby pads and as for brake dust no difference there either no matter what EBC says about reducing dust .
