What's better Bendix Ultimate's or Ferodo DS Performance pads? I've heard that the Bendix pads are tough on the rotors, make lots of dust and are crappy when cold. Not so sure about the Ferodos though.
Does $165 for the Ferodo's and $137 for Bendix sound right?

If you can handle the dust then go the Ferodo DS Performance Pads, If not then Hawk Performance Ceramic as per Mark's advise are a good value for money pad.
I personally use Ferodo's

I hate dust.
Just removed the Lucas TRW yesterday and fitted Hawks.

be interested to hear your thoughts on stopping ability
i never had fading issues with the Lucas,
I cooked some MRT pads and also cooked Stoptech ones on my Leggy (Auto)
EBC greens were too hard for everyday driving and wouldn't heat up quick enough
TRW's just worked on both my Fozz and the Leggy

Would the Hank Performance Ceramics be able to survive a track day?

I did half a day of 10min super sprint sessions on the Hawks and never had fade.
If you want to do track days, buy track pads. These are a good everyday pad which will handle some twisty runs, etc, are very quiet and ultra low dust.
