I ordered some SBS 900 DS fronts for my 959 (I do 80 % street/20% track). Still working through the stock pads which will need to be changed before my next trackday. From the reviews, these are a pretty good street/track pad. I’ll let you know when I change them.

OEM pads are good. I went with Vesrah SS and also tried Vesrah XX. The SS was great with the stock master but when I switched to the RCS17 master it now comes on really hard. Might give the XX another whirl next season. The SS pads with the RCS master bite very hard initially, makes trail braking a little more difficult.
No brake fade over a session with the Vesrahs and my brakes are cooking after a session.

EBC EPFA HH pads for front, rear the FA work fine. The stock lasted fine for 6k since I engine brake a lot in canyons, but doing more track days made me want new pads on.
6k canyon miles had front brakes at 60% left and rear 30% left.

Here's some guidance from Brembo:

Brembo (to their credit) give useful friction coefficient vs. temperature information on their pads. I can't find any other pad manufacturer who will supply this information. This info will help you make tradeoff decisions regarding initial bite, fade resistance, etc.

A guide to choosing the right pads for my bike: Choosing the right one, Sintered or organic? Track or street? High performance or low wear? Effective when cold or aggressive when hot?
