EBC Green vs OEM vs other?

I am set for a new pads and new rear rotors. I have been running EBC green and they seem to work very well. With some time at autocross/small tracks they also worked very well and seemed to stop the car confidently after 3, 4 and even 5 laps on a small track.

So... I am contemplating going either going with EBC again, going back to stock, or some other comparable priced pad. The EBC pads are a little cheaper than stock but not a ton. After driving dealer cars on a small track all day I can say confidently that stock pads don't fade much either.

I guess another question is can I switch pads on the same rotors without effecting the rotor from different pad composition? My front rotors only have 18,000 miles on them so I am not changing those. The rears have a lot more so probably should be changed.

Thanks,
k

I like to sand the surface of my rotors if I am reusing them with different pads. It will help with bedding in the new pads. It also takes like 2 minutes per rotor to do by hand.
