EBC Organic pads are soft as shite, but will create a bit more dust as they wear so you need to maintain the caliper "at least" once a year, nothing major just a scrub up with brake cleaner and a toothbrush around the exposed pistons, then protect with more red rubber grease to prevent any siezing up.

Hmmm don't like the sound of all that dust as it also gets itself all over the wheel, but I actually don't know what is in there now as a bike shop did it for me about 10 years ago and I wasn't as knowledgeable back then as I am now about all the different pad options (thanks to this forum) . I would of thought they just put cheep ones in, so I already could have ebc organics, so a new braided line would still be better than I want  :\

It's all down to how you ride, I prefer a bit of bite on the rear when I'm in traffic just for control purposes, which is most days as it's a commuter bike for me.
