Brake pads pmb ceramic vs others

I’m replacing my brake pads (currently oem, I think) naturally I want it all. low noise, low dust, & hyper fast braking power even at higher temperatures. This will be street only, no track use.

I’ve spent days trying to compare the various options out there, definitely going with ceramic for low dust factor.

Friction ratings of some recommended pads I’ve found on internet (feel free to correct or add if you know better)
Mintex red box = EE rated (.25-.35)
EBC red stuff = average friction rating .5 (G) couldn’t find temperature info
Hawk HPS 5.0 = .4-.35 (FF)
Akebono euro ultra premium = GG (.45-.55)
PMB-C = GG (.45-.55)

I had never heard of the PMB-C pads til I saw them on pelican. For the cost $160 all 4 wheels they seem like a great deal with the akebono’s close behind @$250 for all 4 wheels.

Anyone have any experience with the PMB’s or can recommend a better option?

It’s a 2004 S.
