Default Ferodo ds2500 or Pagid?

Im after some new pads for my wrx, not sure which to go for ds2500's or pagid (blue or black).

Ive got mintex at the moment, there not too bad but really dirty compared to OE so wondered how these would compare, performance and dirtiness.

Just road driving not track.
Thanks for any info

Pagid black 4-2-1 is very similar to DS2500. Pagid blue 4-2 gives more bite for track use and would be my choice if you uprate your discs as well. They're all a bit dusty and I've given up caring about it.

I understand that the Pagid's have a BIT more ultimate stopping power/feel but this is because they have a high metal content, compared to the DS2500's - not good for your discs' and alloys' condition/longevity...

If the metal content doesn't bother you, then Performance Friction's high carbon-metallic PF 97's are, allegedly, awesome.
