I have EBC, and they are ok. The KVR also seem ok. They stop the car, can't complain much in that aspect 
I don't have physical proof of test of stopping distances, so I'm not gonna say they are the best or even that good as compared to something else. Because the real way would to have a comaprison test, but we are not that lucky. But the EBC Greens are ok (need to be warmed up for some reason and say they are not supposed to be). KVR seems better than the EBC though again IMHO.

for average sporty driving your best bang/buck is going to be from Axxis Metalmaster or Axxis ultimate. Endless pads are a FORTUNE and aren't worth the premium, IMO, unless you are getting something special that you can't get otherwise (a'la NA-D).
For sportier braking the Porterfield R4S are probably your best bet. Harsh pad, good street manners, dust like hell and throw flames and sparks. That's what I'm gettign next.
I have Axxis Metalmaster right now, can't complain. They work funny at autocross, though, because they need a touch of heat to really work, which usually gets developed mid-braking.
I've got a set of KVR sitting around waiting for the current fronts to get burned out.
I've heard bad things about EBC Green but they change their compound more often than I change my underwear, so god only knows what's up with them now. You won't really know what you like until you try it.
