Default Are the Hawk Street / Race good idea for my 2015 C7 A8 Base model?

Car is mostly street driven with the idea of using it for beginner HPDE events with the intention to get to intermediate level at some point in time. Car is base / non z51 A8 C7, I added front and back z51 sway bars. I am in the process of either getting z51 shocks or maybe, PFADT Johnny O'Conell shocks, not sure is worth the added expense. But anyways, interested in appropriate brake pads. Of course the car has the standard Stingray brakes. Would I be better off with Hawk Street / Race pads in the front and rear oem stock brake pads for my goal? Car is new. Or am I better off with Hawk HPS 5.0 in the front and oem stock in the back or even the Stoptech sport pads in the front and oem stock in rear? Are the Hawk Street / Race pads too noise for the street and will they tear up the rotors? Rotors are stock. Ger.
