The ASP series is fantastic for a lot of reasons: bed-in period is straightforward and doesn't require big stretches of road and no traffic... just drive it easy and don't get them piping hot for 500km. They have excellent cold temperature bite, so they feel similar stone cold as they do normal operating temp. Fade resistance is more than adequate for spirited driving.
I could not find anyone who's had backing plate adhesion problems (EBC) or squealing (Hawk), either.
Just good solid brake pads. I got mine from Tire Rack.

You're definitely right about the cold temp bite. I never realize how good my brakes are until I hop behind the wheel of another car with cheap pads. These things perform well regardless of weather.
