Preferrably they will not produce noise and have good wear longevity.

I have been wondering the same this for a while and never really found an answer
I think I am going to end up ordering some HAWk HP Plus pads. From what I have herd they seems to be the closest to what we are looking for.

Take a look at Ferodo DS2500
I got my set from http://www.raceshopper.com Great customer service there
THey worked awesome on the track, and very minimal squeaking on the street. I used to have MIntex C-Tech which were so so on the track, and screamed bloody murder on the street.

It may be too much to look for...good track pads will make a lot of noise on the street...
Well it sounds like a pain, it is better to have a separate set of pads for the track and one for daily driving...

Pagid pads have been working for me...
my dad took the car out on pocono with these pads and I've autox'ed the car with them as well. No problems, and they don't squeal at all (knock on wood) during daily driving.

There aren't any. When it comes to pads, you can't have quiet street performance and......
good track performance.
The Hawk HP+ is a decent compromise, but is dusty, noisy and kinda hard on rotors, but it can stand up to a mild track day.
It looks like you have brembos, so pad swaps are easy. Might as well just get in the habit of using the right pad for the right situation.
