I'm a big fan of the Ferodo Pads, they're loud and dust a lot; however, they work so damn well they make other pads hard to go back to. I've run all the versions from DS1.11 to DS3.11 with all of the intermediate steps, they pretty much all work similarly but if you have a compound that can't take the heat you're putting into them, they'll wear at a faster rate. They've gone up in price in recent years, but if you like a firm brake feel and smooth release, they're just hard to beat.
GLoC/Carbotech are fine (I've got a set one the car right now), but when available, I'll still spring for the Ferodo pads. The Hawk DTC pads can work too (60's or 70's with the sprint kit), they're as loud and dusty as the Ferodos but don't work quite as well and the 70's don't like to be cold (I'll drive the Ferodos daily with my very short commute, but the DTC 70's are real track pads that do not work when cold so you do not want to daily drive them). I have a track buddy who liked the CSG pads, but I haven't tried them personally.
