I've used the DS2500 and really liked them. I have a review in the long brake pad thread. Not as much bite as the stock pads, but way better modulation. And they will take some light track use. But once I got serious I burnt up a set in one weekend.

They were always completely silent, but I did use some brake grease on the back side to dampen sound.

Unlike some people though, I found that the DS2500 did need a bit of heat to work. Backing out of my downhill driveway felt a bit loose first thing in the morning. But by the time I drove a couple blocks they were great.
