Default Which Brake Pads for Upgrade Rotors? (Cryo Rotors)

Hello all, Just wanted to put this question on the SC430 section instead of the Suspension/Brake Question,

I'm about to buy the Cryo Front rotors in a couple weeks and I would like to know which Brake pads to use? The rotors are a bit harder than OEM rotors,

Which brake pads will give me no noise at all? and that will last pretty well since I know aftermarket brake pads are a little harder compound than my OEM Lexus pads?
( little dust also) I do not like the squeeking some brake pads have.....

any suggestions?

Myself and a few others have had look luck with Hawk HPS. Good rotor life,quiet, stops great cold, and resistant to fade.
After a great many pads, these are the only ones I run when available for my application.

Default Hawk HPS vs Ceramic?

with the Cryo Rotors up front, and HPS brake pads, what is the brake pedal "feel" like? harder to push down or feels like OEM?

What is the difference between
Hawk HPS vs. Hawk Ceramic brake Pads?
