I’m running Carbotech XP10 in my AP’s and the cold squeal is obnoxious. Once they’re really good and hot it goes away but it’s definitely just a trade off of good pads. Mine drag every so slightly when turning the wheel by hand but never enough I’ve been concerned about it. They still work very, very well.

Pros: work very well, squeal goes away when hot
Cons: obnoxious cold squeal, slight drag

I use carbotech xp10/8. I don't bother to switch. it makes a bit of noise if I street drive it too much but nothing really bad. it beds back in just fine after one or two warm up laps

Pros: beds in easily
Cons: a bit noisy

XP for track use and 1521 for street. No need to rebed pads. Just swap and go. Carbotech says this and I’ve head zero issue myself doing this

Pros: no rebedding needed

My Equinox has 10,400km and will always make noise under braking at the beginning of the ride and then gradually stops. Braking feels good though.

Pros: braking feels good
Cons: noise at beginning of ride

I use carbotech xp8s. Dtc 60 or 70s would also be a good choice. Be warned through track pads driven on the street will accelerate rotor wear. I hated the Ferodo ds2500s when cold.

Cons: accelerates rotor wear
