Softer pads give you shorter stopping distance, less or no squeak but more brake dust. Harder pads just the opposite. I recommend you stick with OEM pads but these cars need weekly cleaning to remove brake dust.
A heavy coat of synthetic wax (polymer based not carnuba) on the wheels makes the cleaning much easier. I can get 95% of brake dust removed with just a water hose.
Good luck.
