This is a good question re pads: after completely melting the standard pads to their backing plates in half a dry day at Snetterton , I'm considering

RS29 (proven, but squeal like pigs in urban use)
RS14 (blacks, recommended by some - do these squeal in town use?)
RS4-4 (orange, good but do they last?)
RS5 - new pads from Pagid... any good?
DS2500 - good for fast road I hear, but that's about it?
PF01 - I prefer to steer clear of these as the dust is corrosive when wet

If I did more TDs, I'd just plonk for the RS29s automatically, but just wondering if there's a quieter alternative that doesn't lose out too much on-track performance?
