Personally I'm a fan of carbotech, but never tried their street-oriented pads. Also I don't trust my ft86 knowledge to translate over to the s2k platform.

So here's a point of contention.
You already know how much people resist upgrading brakes, saying novices will be okay, etc etc.
The s2k has more power, more weight, with smaller brakes. Whatever "works" on the 86 needs to be more extreme on the s2k, to also work similarly well.
I wouldn't start anything short of a XP10 with the s2k. You'll need to bed his pads for him to get them silent, but once properly bedded, XP10 and XP12 will be completely silent on the s2k.
XP10 f/r or XP12 f/r.
Or, try the CSG CX1.
