Which Hawk Pads?

Need new front brake pads for my 96 LT4. From what I have searched for and talked to friends, Hawks seem to be the best. I need some advise on which ones to get. There are 3 options, the HPS, HP+ and the Ceramic. Which ones would be best suited for general street use. Some limited speed (following Pace Car at VIR) laps, maybe once or twice a year would also take place.

Thanks

My 96' uses Hawk HPS... great for hard running, and are low dusting.
They have been on for over a year at 50 miles a day, seven days a week.

I don't know if it's much different, but my Z28 and my 89 Vette both have Hawk Ceramics, (both have
teh C5 conversion) and they are fantastic!

I have the HPS and they work well but I think they dust like crazy. The guy with the ceramics might be onto something...
