I just installed some ceramic pads upfront on my 88 Camaro, Hawk Performance Pads HB119Z.594. So far, the pads don't brake as well as the el-cheap carbon-metallics from AutoZone, but I don't expect them to. I've noticed under hard braking that I can smell a chalky smell, almost tasting it in my mouth even. They don't fade either, which is nice. I bought them for low-dust purposes only, performance not being a consideration. I bought them from Summit for about $62 + $5 s&h ($67 total). To me, they're worth it b/c they'll keep my rims from getting black.
