What would you consider the next step up from Project Mu HC+? Carbotech XP10 maybe?

I am currently using the PMUs (thanks CSG) and I'm totally OK with the squeal and the dust. It is also pretty good on track, but I had to back off in braking zones a little after starting to smell brake pads on my first couple of sessions. In addition, I feel like my braking distances are slowly increasing during each session.

I am looking for a dual duty daily/track pad that will take the heat better and hopefully last longer, while not destroying brake discs. I am OK with dust and noise. I live in TX, so winters are very mild.

My impressions about the HC+ so far:

Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Project Mu
Caliper (F/R): Stock
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): Stock
Compound (F/R): HC+
Tires: Primacy HP

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 4
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 8
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 6
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 8
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet):4
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): 5??
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? (Y/N) N
Brake ducts: (Y/N) N
