Default Brake pad questions

Installing new eradispeeds and intend to use either OEM pads or the Raybestos QS pads. I know the ceramic pads will leave less dust, but are there any issues anyone has had with them, noise, discolored rotors etc. Any problems with ceramics and the eradispeed rotors? Car is mainly a garage queen, but I don't want to change pads again anytime soon. Thanks in advance for the help.

Comment I heard last week... "The QSs are great pads as long as you don't want to stop fast!" ( I have no personal experience)

I have the Eradispeed / GM ceramic pad combo on my 2001. I am completely satisfied with the ceramics, no problems. NO noise, very little dust. I have run the snot out of the combination at both high speed and low speed AutoX. Stopping power is as good , certainly no worse than stock pads. :yesnod:
