Gnasher's bit above - brilliant, I picked up a couple of bits there :thumbup
a couple of months ago having done a bit of reading and looking at previous posts on here I took what I hoped was an educated guess and went for these Galfer G1054 compound ones for both the front and back. [People mention Galfer but don't often mention which composition] these are 'semi-metallic' aka sintered
Calsport seem determined to call them 'HH' but galfer site says they are 'GG' friction rated, I still have the packets at home & will try and remember to have a look .... either way I find them very good and better than what was in before especially from a cold wet start and very predictable. My old ones were shit while wet.
I have only done a couple of hundred miles (Guernsey's a small island :\ ) so I can't speek for their longivety, but Darrsi has praised them in that regard many times and says they are kind to the rotors aswell.

There is a comparison of Galfers compounds
http://www.galfer.eu/index.php/en/produc...brake-pads
and a bit of the blurb :-
'The 1054 compound is the workhorse of the Galfer brake pad family. It offers progressive feel and feedback and is GG rated which makes it a great all round brake pad. This compound is available for front and rear calipers'
