For street I stick with OEM. I'm sure there are many considerations in the specification for for performance, operating temps, NVH, durability, etc. that make for a great all-around pad. I started using Vesrah RJL on the track for more torque. It's easier to modulate braking when it requires less pressure at the lever, but you're probably not doing much threshold braking on the street. I actually stick with OEM on my truck too. If something worked good enough for the last XX,XXX miles, why risk changing it? When I played with cars I was really picky about brake pads, and ended up with a bunch of sets that I drove a few miles on and replaced out of sheer disappointment - lots of $$ wasted.
