Default Durastop vs OEM pads

GM part numbers for Durastop SM pads for a C5
17D731M = 18038570
17D732M - 18038571

17D731MHP = 18039366
17D732MHP - 18039366

MHP Pads slightly less expensive than the M pads

Whats the difference? Want stopping power not concerned with brake dust
avioded ceramic pads due to heat build up and decreased stopping power

Should i use OEM SM pads (more expensive than Durastop) or one of the above pads for normal street driving?

I tried to append to a previous post but could not make it happen

If your not worried about dust, get the Z06 pads, they are the best factory pad. but the most dust.
