Default Recommended pads for Brembos?

After pretty much destroying my pads on track yesterday, what do people recommend for some good biting, hard wearing pads on the front brembos?

Not fussed about brake dust really.. but I want good inital bite, as little fade as possible and not crazy expensive

They're going on a 370bhp blob STi

I used DS 2500's and then upgraded to a full PF set-up.

Now run AP six pots, each better than the previous.

Out of all the pads on the market today , the best all round pad is the new Bluestuff NDX
these will take any abuse you want to throw at them on the track , and are as happy popping down the shops

The carbotechs are popular with the MLR , and people who have swapped over the NDX are saying they work very similar , but you don't get the aggressive dust and squealing with the NDX's as you do with the Carbotechs.

Carbotechs are very popular on the Evos, but people have been swinging over to Bluestuff NDX and have been very happy with them.

Much better priced, work at a wider temperature range and without any downsides.
