I have heard nothing but good about the greenstuff pads as well. To me when it comes to brake pads and things of that nature, I don't care how quick they wear out as long as they do a good job. I haven't tried the EBC pads yet, as I am still punning Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads. Fade is almost non-existant, pad life is great - about 20,000 in the set I have right now and they have LOTS of life left in them. So use what you can live with.
