I like the Ferodo pads, the DS1.11 are my favorite (I haven't tried their newest pad, DS3.12). The DS2500 is more autox focused and will hold up at the track, but if you are fast enough, they wear faster due to heat (they don't get to the point of fade but the wear is accelerated). The DS1.11 works for both autox and track, you won't overheat it easily and it works straight away for autox (not a bad idea to drag the brakes on the way to the start line for the first run, but they'll work just fine). The DSUNO is a little more track focused and ramps up with temperature more than the other pads (starts out pretty high and just gets better), so it's the least autox friendly but I've used them at autox without any real issues.
If you don't like Ferodo, the Hawks DTC30 is very similar to the DS2500, the DTC60 is the DSUNO equivalent, and the DTC70 is a track pad that won't heat up for autox but bites hard once up to temperature.
I've daily driven all these options except the DTC70 (I've got a 6mi commute, track or autox every weekend that's not shutdown for the pandemic, and don't mind the noise) but I've also had people literally pull forwards a car length when I brake behind them at stoplights.
