Which pads for the track?

DS3000's got a lot of bad reviews on the STi forums. A lot of people said the 3000's didn't last long, they would get 1 or 2 track days out of them and that was it.

I am going to continue to run the same pad compound front to rear as I have in the past. I am debating between XP10's and XP12's.

About my alignment...I would actually rather my alignment be reversed. I want -1.7 front and -1.4 rear, but I have no camber adjustment up front yet and the rear gets too much toe getting any closer to my -1.4 goal. I ran -1.8F/-1.4R on my STi and the contact patch on the track was perfect. Sidewalls never rolled over, had even tread wear, and the car was very neutral.
