Default Carbotech XP9 or XP10?

I just realized I need pads by Tuesday next week for an upcoming event. I plan on driving 3 hours to it but don't want to mess with them at the track so I'll be driving on them. Debating on the XP9 or XP10. Any opinions? Is direct from Carbotech the best place to buy them?

Just for reference, I've used PFC01 and consider them an awesome track pad but unstreetable. If you ever get the dust wet, it's a PITA to clean your rims. The Carbotech (XP I think) dust was much easier to clean.

Hey Larry, if you are going to drive on them I would say the XP9. The XP10 is less rotor friendly. See you there. :)

Man! You're everywhere! Thanks. That's what I was thinking. I don't have money for new race rubber at the moment so the XP10 would probably be overkill.
