I would use EBC dimpled/grooved and either redstuff ceramic or yellowstuff.
I have used FER DS2000/2500, pagid, mintex(c tech) etc etc but now have redstuff ceramic.
They work from cold don't squeal, have excellent feel unlike ferodo's, but are a bit dusty though.

National sport discs are ok but there is not much to choose between discs.
I only use cheapy discs as I change them every pad change anyway, as usually warped by then anyway.
I just get discs from local factors.

I always used Rally Design's Maxtorx Grooved Discs and Mintex 1144's.

Workrf fine for me.
