Default Please S8 owners can you suggest Ceramic Brand Brake pads?

I need some suggestions please, on which is the best brand you S8 owners are using? I wanted to get Akebonos, but it looks like they only have them available for the REARS, not the fronts? Does anyone use the HAWKS performance Ceramic pads? I open to any suggestions,,,thanks in advance!

EBC Redstuff for the front and Akebono for the rear. I've been using this combo or just ebc reds all around for years. Low dust and nice pads.

Will be running EBC Reds when first changed. Same as I ran on D2 W12 for years.

I've been running Powerstop ceramic pads front and rear on both my W12s. I've run Akebonos on my D2 and they were good as well. All were low dust compared to OE but I have never run a set of OE pads on any of my D3s so I truthfully cannot compare the performance difference.
