Deluxe or Metalmasters?

I've used (formerly Repco) Axxis/PBR Deluxe pads for 25 years on various cars with excellent results: Good performance, low wear on pads and rotors, no loss of performance when cold, low dust, and reasonable cost. IMHO, these will be better in non-racing applications than Metalmasters, which will wear rotors faster and are reportedly spongy when cold. My '91 went 124k on the original rotors, until I sold it, and to my knowledge were still within specs. It wore Deluxe pads except the OEM pair that lasted 50k on front, 70k on rear. The Deluxe pads on front were replaced just prior to sale, so they lasted 74k on front, but were completely worn out.
After superb experience with EBC Kevlar pads on my Harley-Davidson, I may break from the fold and go with their Greenstuff pads for the Saab in the future. I'd like to read some experiences with them on cars, though. The performance on my Harley is beyond belief: Half worn at over 60k miles, no dust, excellent performance, and zero rotor wear! None! You can't catch a fingernail on the pad path.
