Default Race Brake Pads

Well, after cooking some StopTech Club Spec Race pads at RFR, I think I need to grab a set of full race pads before the next track day.

I'd like to pick one of the offerings from StopTech (for obvious reasons). StopTech currently carries these pads for their ST-40 calipers:

Hawk HT-10
Hawk HT-14
Pagid RS-14 Black
Performance Friction 01 Compound
Performance Friction 97 Compound
Ferodo DS3000

Does anyone have some experience with any of these pads? Anyone have a suggestion for what's best for what I'd guess is a "low to mid temp race application"? Basically, I need something that's a little higher temp than a "Club Spec" pad... I don't plan on driving on the street much w/ these, just to and from events, however, they probably *will* be used on the street. If that's not an option, perhaps I should just stick w/ the Club Spec pads or admit that I'm going to have to start swapping pads at the event the morning of.

Damn, I need a truck and a trailer.
