Most of the squeal is going to come from light pressure braking and low speed braking. Unsurprisingly, this makes up most daily commutes.
Porsche has a great video about what causes squeal and how they've tried to inhibit it. It's very educational.

...unfortunately we don't drive Porsches. Even bedding the brakes properly into silence won't be a permanent fix for most people. It will require repeated efforts to re-apply that transfer layer that helps keep the friction high enough to "fill in the gaps" as it were between the pad and rotor surface. Stopping harder to keep the heat up in the rotors and pads to maintain this layer will make it last longer, though.
There are only two "real" options in my mind. Swap pads between street and track (Carbotech pads allow this on the same rotor) or just get used to the noise. I got used to the noise, but I wouldn't exactly call my Winmax W5 severe by any means.
