SOS URGENT BRAKE PAD HELP

So I currently have a 2015 C63S my warranty just expired and I need to get some things done on my car. First, the brake pads need to be replaced, but I REALLY HATE the Mercedes original brake pads and was thinking of switching to EBC or Porterfield R4-S. I do not know which one will last me longer and would like some suggestions please, I am not gonna lie I drive my car very hard and it is tuned. I would like a brake that will last me and not collect a lot of dust. Another issue i would like some help on is finding the correct part number online. I have this local mechanic telling me that if I buy the parts I am looking at they are wrong and that the actual pads for my car are on backorder. Someone please drop suggestions and links below so I can just buy them and bring them in to him. Also should I care if he said he will install them but not warranty his labor since he did not buy the parts?

Theres another thread on here about break pads which had the direct links to buy.

I can vouch for the porterfeild 4rs pads!
Oem squeaked like hell, these do not.
Substantially reduced brake dust
Had them since last December, still plenty of life on them.
(I dragstrip and weekly race the car for reference)

With that setup, wouldn't you want to go with a 285/40/19 in the rear so the diameters more closely match the fronts?
