Good point George.............. brake cooling is quite important. When I replaced my puny calipers and rotors to the 930 turbo ones, I also installed a "Cool brake" duct system. Fortunately I've had NO problems since, but part of the answer was that the MASS of the new rotors were able to absorb much of the heat.

I used the CarboTech XP10's/XP8's on my Subaru WRX with excellent results.
Then as Todd mentioned, I used the Pagid Yellow on my GT3 with stunning results.
Not sure why I don't use the Raybestos on my Evo, but I'm getting incredible stopping power on the Evo with XP12 fronts and XP10's rear with StopTech BBK.
I think the key to longer pad wear is better brake cooling. Consider a brake duct cooling kit. I have a Forge kit on the Evo.
