Default Brake pad recommendation for Boxster calipers

I've got the BIRA Stage 1 kit and am in need of some new pads. I believe I have Porterfields in there now, not sure which model. I'm having a local mechanic turn the rotors and he says he can get a good price on Pagids. He probably won't charge me anything to throw in any pads I provide, either.

I'm currently not planning to do any more track days with this car, so I'd prefer a little longer wearing, low dust, quiet pad for street use. Any recommendations and source for good pricing?

Mintex or Textar are good affordable pads and don't leave too much brake dust. Porterfields are a little more expensive and have better bite. The pagids (blue are the street compound) leave a ton of black brake dust and are the best of the bunch IMO but they're also gonna be the most expensive. I run mintex or textar for street and Pagid Orange at the track.
