New Brake Pad suggestions

I recently bought and installed The Racing Brake 2 piece rotors with the XT-910 pads and motul fluid.

On a few high speed spirited runs I noticed a tiny bit of fade vs the stock pads and then yesterday I was out playing with a Camaro ZL1 Lots of high speed runs med-heavy braking back to full throttle, no heavy or super heavy braking. In only about 2-5 minutes the brakes were shot!! No stopping power and pouring white smoke.

Luckily I was close to home and drove there pulled into the driveway and let them cool off while they smoked for the next 10-15 minutes.

So now I'd like some suggestions for a better pad that doesn't squeak but let's me do some high spirited runs I won't track the car.

Thanks in advance

I had Porterfield R4S pads on our Aston Martin. They stopped well didn't fade and made almost no dust.

When changing the pads is it a good idea to change the pad sensors? Do they need to be changed when they light up? Or do they just rub the rotor and send a signal?
