I mostly commute, don't do trackdays (unless you count the Biker Down Brands Hatch day in April), don't use the bakes that much in general and they are fine.
I use to swear by EBC, but some years back they changed their manufacturing location and started gaving a very wooden feel, high wear rates to the discs and less service life. OE was then the best option if a little pricey, SBS then expanded their range within the UK I've not used anything else since regardless of the bike whether in road, track day or full race applications SBS have a pad that fits the bill.
But don't go thinking a race pad will work better on the road it WONT stick to the correct grade of road pads for road riding, stay away from true race pads, they will be expensive, less cold/wet performance and wear faster. SBS do make a intermediate pad the RS but I wouldn't recommend you use these on your daily commute they are pretty flat until hot, wear faster and have less wet weather performance not what you want when dozy cage driver pulls out on you up the end of your street!
