If it was me, I'd start with #5, as those cars are the ones requiring greater stopping power. If that pad met your needs, you'd be done. I wonder how much difference there is likely to be among the first four on your list.
The best means of answering your question, I suspect, is to buy one of each and test them against each other. That surely wouldn't be worth the trouble, though.
I ran #1 briefly and not remotely aggressively, and #4 the same except for one full-on 80-45 speed reduction on an interstate, at which it performed just as I needed it to.
The pad I ran the most is a Hawk DTC-70 race pad. It met my needs on the track and on a few occasions on back roads after I'd made an effort to get some heat into them before leaning hard on the car. Driving them on the street was very noisy unless I worked to keep the noise down.
If you're asking a lot of your heavy, high-HP car on back roads (or on the track), you might take a look at comparisons like these to see what could best suit your needs:

One thing to keep in mind with our cars is that when pushed hard they ask quite a bit of their braking components. That results in a lot of heat, and lesser pads will not be able to keep up under those conditions.
Not knowing where you live, where you drive, or how you drive, this is what I found myself dealing with regarding the limitations in our car's braking systems:

As always, my 2¢; and, please, take it for what it's worth.
