Default Ceramic Pads - Akebono vs. Brembo

I need new pads for my SC300 but I'll be doing the TT brake upgrade within the year, so I don't want to spend tons of money on pads I don't need. The reviews are positive on both, but I notice the Akebono ProACT Ceramics are about $35 cheaper than the Brembo Sport Ceramics, and they have significantly lower noise/dust levels but less stopping power. I drive pretty aggressively sometimes (late for work and such) so I occasionally do quick braking from 90+mph and I need pads that can take that kind of abuse. I don't do any autocross or road-racing however, and this is my daily driver, so noise and dust play a big factor for me.

Anyone have any experience with either pads that could give me suggestions/recommendations?
