Question Zimmerman Rotors + Mintex or PBR "advanced ceramic" Pads? Which one?

Well, I am soon going to be putting new rotors on my 300SD as the front discs have a pretty good lip on them and I don't want to wear all the way through them. They've been on there for about 60k and the "wear slots" (ATE Power Discs) are all but worn away, it looks like a normal rotor now....

I have a set of Zimmerman Cross Drilled Rotors + both "Mintex" and "PBR Advanced Technology Ceramics" pads.....

Which pads should I use? I am unsure on the "Advanced Ceramics"....do they wear the rotor more? If they are known to be good I will use them, but I also have the Mintex, which seem to be closer to the OEM compound....but I'm worried that they will be dust monsters.

Anyone have any experience with these pads? Which one should I use?
