I'm running stock pads, since they engage the ABS and handle the heat from 1 minute runs (just don't hold the brake down when staging after a hot run). For track days, I swap to XP8s, inspect the condition of the rotors and SS lines, and check/bleed the RBF600 fluid.

At autocross, your braking zones will be infrequent and tight. A pad with better initial bite can shave time (like the Ferodo DS2500, Carbotech AX6, ProjectMu HC800, Winmax W2)... but my skill level is chasing the final second, not the last tenth.
