Which brake pads?

Right now I have the Hawk HPS pads and I am really not a big fan. I have my eyes set on Project MU B-force pads. I was wondering if anybody has this or heard good things about them. My main concern is emergency stops @ high speeds. My Hawk pads take tooooooo long to grip.

^^^^Thanks. Yeah let me know, but I think for now I am going w/ Project Mu because like I said the Hawk HPS have no stopping power @ higher speeds and yesterday I found that out at first hand when I nearly hit the lady that pulled out.
