you pretty much on your own there then

As above , the 4 mentioned would be a much better bet , How hard do you drive the car , are you doing track days , if you dont drive the car hard then no point in putting expensive pads in that are more suitable for track / hard use

I dont rate EBC my self, after suffering brake fade using yellow stuff on my old Bmw 2.5.

Use the pads that are mentioned above as they are known and proven. But my own opinion of course lol.
