Hawk DCT-XX are tough on rotors but good.

Cobalt Friction is excellent for the big dogs.
If you already have rotors, use them but watch them for cracks. Once they crack, get better ones.

All this ↑↑↑ .
HPS can probably work at a track day
on a track that's easy on brakes and if the driver remains conscious of the fact that it's still a street pad.
A step up in the Hawk line would be the HP+, which are entry-level track pads with a semblance of streetability (meaning that they actually do have decent cold bite). They will make noise and they will dust like crazy just like any other track pad. Expect to outgrow these as well, as your skills improve and your speeds increase (yes, they can be faded).
