Default Brake pads replacement

My 2012 A7 has about 22k miles but I would like to replace pads in the near future.

I am looking for awesome stopping power, less dust, and no noise. I think some of the ceramic ones have no dust but they don't have that initial bite like the OEM. I want that hard-biting feeling with less dust.

What are my options?

I've done the Centric high-carbon 125 Series rotor with the Akebono Euro Ceramic pads (both from Tire Rack), with great results...no more brake dust!

I really should, but at the same time I enjoy taking the R8 out more.
