Default Polishing my rotors, what brake pads?

Had my wheels powdercoated a gloss black, and they look great, but now those rotors need to be shinier. Got a buddy to polish them for me. Am I gonna wanna use a different brake pad other than stock. I have a good set of stock on there, and I religiously clean my bike a lot. Is there something with less dust and the same or even better stopping power at a comparable price?

KC International Motorcycle Supply sells Organic Pads that work good and don't scar. 937-259-1736 I got them for my 07 so don't know about the new brakes.

Looks like I'll be getting Lyndalls. I've heard great things about them, but have also heard that they really squeal quite a bit. Is that true?

I'm gonna be switching to Lyndall's on the rear pretty quick. The stock ones are over 1/2 gone and I'm tired of that excessive brake dust on my white walls (and gloss black wheels) already. Cleans off easy enough but hey, if the Lyndall's will lessen it...
