    I've been using SBS DC for racing and they are epic. However I've been told by a few people that the std Honda pads are excellent and used by bsb rr etc.
    I tried them at weekend instead of sbs dc and to be honest the std Honda pads felt better. Good initial bite and pulled up on a sixpence.

    I'm using stock pads on my 08 and they're really good.

    I've used Bendix MRR's in the past and they've been good but couldn't comment yet on the Blade.

    EBC have a race compound pad for race use only. I have them in the SP1 and they would put you over the bars with 2 fingers. Not cheap but very good. Ill be putting them on the Blade this year.
