Default 4 pot brembo pads replacements

Hi, currently in the market for new front brake pads on my ba GT-P with 4 piston front and wonder what recommendations you may have to replace my old ones.
The ferodo ds performance and ebc redstuff grab my attention currently. But I would like more of an opinion on what you think of these and what else may be out there.
Rarely see the track but do a lot of spirited driving up in the snowy mountains and some khanacross events.
Edit: Would also like a recommendation on brake fluids.
Also prices delivered to Tumut 2720.

Cheers, Sam.

Have used a few sets of Ferodo DS2500.
A way better pad than oem & have about 5-10% more surface contact area on the rotor than oem.
Re fluids just get locally due to shipping costs being a fluid.

Sorry for the late reply we have been moving and Telstra have stuffed up all our communications and i have just been able to get some internet happening last night.
The DS2500 ferodo are really good and will be better for the motorsport use or if more street use and low dust is better then go the Winmax W1 over the redstuff. Costs range from $265 delivered for front Winmax or Ferodo DS2500 are $360 delivered. AP Racing 5.1 fluid would be the best in my opinion but get a good Super dot 4 locally as i try to avoid sending fluid in air bags.
