If the pads are double duty then the best thing you can do is the Ferodos. I wouldn't think twice about it...
Yes, I agree on the Ferodo DS2500 being one of the best double duty pads out there. It is rotor friendly when cold, linear brake torque curve and excellent modulation and release characteristics.

Cool Carbon is more of a street pad than track pad and can't really be compared to the DS2500.

Yes, they are a great thermal barrier to keep heat away form the pistons and reduce the possibility of boiling the brake fluid.
