Hawk Brake Pad

I've decided on Hawk brake pads, but I'm not sure about ceramic or composite.

Anyone have experience with both or recommendations?

I drive pretty hard, so I need something more aggresive than OEM.

Thanks.

I like the HPS version over the ceramic. I drive hard and the HPS version is more than adequete.

curious, do one of these create substantially less dust than the other? I'd like to upgrade to something eventually with more stopping power and less dust that OEM.

I have used both the HPS and ceramic pads but not on the same car. They are both better than OEM pads. The HPS offers very good initial bite while the ceramic produces less dust.
