Pagid Pads will make your car stop faster. I think the others I looked at were something like gLock. The brothers from carbotech. If you run the Pagid pads please let us know how the last and watch the rotors closely. Several companies are working on pads to increase the life of our rotors.
Personally, I am trying to reduce the cost of my track days not make my car faster. I am already in the top 2 faster cars on any given day. I am going to stay with the factory through next season. I have two years left of factory warranty and hope to get the dealer to replace the rotors close to it running out.
And mine make noise from time to time even when new after heat cycled. Oh well... I might add a sticker that says "Real Pad's Make Noise"

If you are going for cheaper overall track investment, remove the CCM brakes and rotors and go down to steel rotors and ceramic pads. It will significantly decrease your cost. You can basically get a full system for the Padgid pad price tag.
