I'm no expert but this works for me so far...........
I started out with Ferodo DS2500's on stock disks, they worked well for AutoX and my novice skills on the track, lots of dust, lots!
As my driving skills improved I had a few instructors tell me I was outgrowing my brakes and when we bought my wife's Elise it had Padgid RS4-2's and I loved them for AutoX, with very little dust.
Just did a track day with Padgid RS4-2's ( Pagid Front Brake Pads, Lotus Brakes - Blackwatch Racing ) on my Exige, with HP slotted Rotors ( BOE Fabrication - Lotus Elise, Exige, and Evora Performance ECM Tuning Products ), and vented stainless pistons ( BOE Fabrication - Lotus Elise, Exige, and Evora Performance ECM Tuning Products ) up front.
Happy with the set up, great grab when I need it, no problem hitting the ABS, very little dust, squeals a little when hot but all race brakes do that. I figure I can upgrade to full floating rotors later as my skills increase and the rotors wear out.
