There are a few things you didn't mention.

Even though they weigh the same, there is a benefit to a larger rotor- it takes less clamping force to provide the same brake torque. So it's possible you will get better brake feel out of the stoptechs.

The rotor attachment is also different between the two. That AP sprint kit is fixed while the stoptech has float. So less pad knock back and more even pad and rotor wear. And it wont fail like that set of wilwoods everyone has seen.

As for the pads, can you quantify "extra pad drag?" The st pad seems to be a similar volume as the thicker ap pad, so they might still last the same amount of time.

Anyway, both great kits and you can't go wrong with either.
