LOL its not actually ZERO dust BUT it is damn close though. I have been running mine since Saturday (6 days and 400 miles) and my rims still look REALLY clean and shiny but I can run my finger across them and take a very light layer of dust off of them now, but you cant even tell the dust is there.
If I were you I would go with a BBK, you will get better stopping power than with any rotor/pad combo you can think of.

Long term update
I just thought I would give a long term update on these brakes. I now have 181,000 miles on my car and the brakes have still held up amazingly well. I have not had to buy rotors or pads in 6yrs...granted I don't drive it as much as I used to but after 60k miles and 6yrs of use I think it's pretty darn good. I still don't get any noise and dust levels stayed low.
