Brake Pads: OEM vs Aftermarket

I'm sitting on a set of hawk performance ceramic pads and I'm curious as to whether or not they're worth the effort (or cost) of being installed.

Can anyone who's gone through the process comment on the performance difference vs stock?

As much as I've driven other people's FR-S/BR-Z, I felt no need for extra braking power but I've heard they fade easily after a few laps on a track.
