Need New Brake Pads for Track - MPerf Calipers

As we all know, the M Perf brake pads dust heavily and don't have much initial bite. With that being said what are some good options? I know they're are threads on it, but I haven't seen anything that is compiled nicely. Here are the pads I am currently considering:

Powerstop Track Days
Porterfield R-4
M3/M4 OEM pads
Pagid RS29


Thoughts?

I say depending on your level and style. I use R4 on my heavy pig. Intermediate Pagid Rs29. M-car pads closely behind.

I posted my impressions of different pads before:

After trying many different pads, the stock M-sport brake option pads are very good and I can learn to live with the dust.

Porterfield R4S were the best of the rest that I tried. However, I have not tried the others listed by the OP.

Either M3/M4 OEM pads for beginner through upper immediate run groups. You'd probably want Pagid RS29 for advanced groups or if you might share a car with someone else in back to back run groups.
