[Shotimes] ceramic brake pads?

[Hartberger, Jason M. AT3]

Tire Rack says that "ceramic pads are recommended by the manufacturere etc
etc."... is this true? I know the SHOs came with semi-met pads to begin
with... should I get ceramic pads? Do they offer any performance advantages
over composite pads? like the Hawk HPS? I don't know what to do here... the
ceramic pads seem cheaper but to me they don't seem to be as aggressive...
they seem like they'd handle heat better than other pads, though - being
ceramic and all - and isn't heat what causes fading mostly? Any inputs? I
want a pad that doesn't put out a metric shit-ton of dust (I'm quite
flexible with that) but one that handles heat well. What should I go with?

Sorry for all the questions... too much time to think.
