I don't have any experience with those particular brakes but I do have a little opinion on brakes in general.
this is one of those situations where racing pads may not be better. Race pads are designed to work well at higher temperatures and braking abuse and avoid fading. For a street car you will never get them up to temperature and they will not perform as well as a cheaper brake pad that is designed for normal street driving. Also depending on the brakes, a lot of times the materials in the pads are chosen to work well with a particular material used in the rotors and if these materials aren't compatible then the brakes won't perform up to par. If you get the best, most expensive pads and don't upgrade the rotors you might as well just give me the money

In my opinion I wouldn't bother unless you are building a race car. In that case I definately would get them.
Some of these other guys have them and like them so the call is up to you
