s13 brakes: good pads vs. z32's with whatever pads

I use Hawk HP+ on stock, non-abs brakes for track days. They modulate well, exceed the cars/tires ability to adhere, and if I use them correctly, they don't overheat. The only reason I can think of for having Z brakes is that the pads are easier to change, and I'm guessing the 2 pot design would wear the pads more evenly (my 1 pot stockers wear the leading edge more than the trailing edge). If I could get a set for next to nothing, and have a non-janky e-brake, I might go for it.

...oh also, HP+s are noisy bastards.
