My recommendation would have been RS29, work very well hot or cold, last AGES, lowish dust and less likely to deposit than RS14.

Why would you think the RS29 would less likely to deposit material then the RS14?
RS14
Constant working temperature 400 – 700°C
Max temperature for short period only: 800°C
RS29 (endurance pad)
Constant working temperature: 400 – 700°C
Max temperature for short period only: 750°C
I have no experience with PFC and Carbon Lorraine. For me personally; I only buy pads from Pagid for track use. Ferodo sounds also ok with some types of pads, EBC is crap and PFC is something I would consider. Carbon Lorraine looks to be to agressive for wheels and paint and I don't want to risk damage on them. I have read some bad reviews about them with people who had paint damage with certain types of CL brake pads.
The RS-14 (front) + RS4-4 (rear) are now 2 days on my car. Last night I did the Pagid bedding in procedure and some positive things came to the surface; brake modulation is better, they brake a little harder and for the moment they are still completely silent (I really hope they stay this way). Next weekend will be the real test on the Nurburgring. Fingers crossed!
