I know on BMW`s the Akebonos have a good reputation for ceramic pads. Good ceramic should only trade initial brake bite for lower dust. They shouldn`t make any more noise or behave differently when it`s cold out.

I just recently switched to Powerslot Slotted rotors, and Hawk HPS pads for my Civic SI (14 lbs of boost on K20A3), and it definitely helps with the stopping, I don`t drive like a maniac, but when I get spirited on a few of the country roads I live near they help me take some of the turns at better speeds, and slow down for deer quick (coming home at normal speeds!)
