Regarding the new EBC Bluestuff NDX Compound, we run this on our car here and of all the pads we've tried it is hands down the best pad all around (have tried various Ferodo, Mintex, Pagid and PFs in the past).
Good bite from cold, doesn't fade, no noise and great stopping power.
PF .11s are very good too, but not as all around as the Bluestuff NDX.
It's hard to imagine that anyone will ever come up with a better all round pad:

They work really well with plain OEM spec discs too. We had a customer buy a set of our OEM spec discs and Bluestuff NDX pads and went straight out to a trackday:
