I don't have a favorite brand of street pad, I use Hawk or Carbotech on the racecars.
Generally the softer pads will grip well, no warm-up needed, and they wear fast (dirty wheels).
I suspect that some of the popularity of the modern pad material is more about long-lasting pads and clean wheels, than the actual braking characteristics & performance.
Just my opinion of course.
