I have the HPS with Baer Eradispeeds on my '95 which of course has the J55 brakes.
My '93 has the Hawk Ceramics with Baer Decelerotors and standard brakes.
The '95 stops much better, but my guess it's due more to the better rotors and bigger brakes rather then the pads them selves.
Neither gives off much noticeable dust.
Note that ceramic pads do give off dust, but it's finer particles and harder to see, but the dust is there.

I use the Hawk Ferro-Carbon pads. Crazy stopping power, but lots of dust.
Also, most Hawk's are know to squeel. its not a problem, its just something they do. They did this for a while on the Vette and my wife's Altima, but they stopped after a while.
