Not sure about rotors but I have been looking into brake pads myself. The low dust ones will not give you the best performance but will give you longer life and less dust. The OEM Standard pads give better performance and less life but unless you plan on autocrossing or going to the track low dust ones are ideal.

How are you defining performance there?

because both pads will stop the car in -exactly- the same distance.

(as will any other brake pad that can engage ABS)

I have no clue lol, I have read somewhere here that this is the case but then again it was a forum post didn't come with any proof.
