I've run the stoptech pad and the hawk hps and I liked the hawk pads better. The stoptech were good on fade resistance but initial bit was lacking and a lot more leg was required. The hawk pads you listed, hp plus, should be even better for hard driving than the hps.
Depending on what your after you might want to take a look at the akebono pads. I'm running them now with an R56 brake upgrade and I think they are great.
Naturally I'll recommend doing a step 1 or 2 R56 brake upgrade. Step 1 R56 calipers with the justa bracket and stock size rotors. Step 2 R56 calipers with the S and R56 size rotors. You'll need R56 brake lines.
If you don't do the upgrade at least change the lines. My car is an '05 with only 45k mi and the lines were deteriorating and caused a soft peddle. I went with stoptech braided lines. But Detroit Tuned has all 4 at a better price. I didn't know that at the time. Finally some good high temp fluid.

here is what the pads looked like, quite a bit of deposits on the rotors too but the stopped smooth and hard
