I have read that avos recommends Hawk ceramic pads for both their excellent performance and low dust factor...and I trust his judgement implicitly.
I just put a set of Borbet wheels on one of my XJ8's, and the factory pads bury the shine in about a day. I'll throw my two cent's worth in when I get the Hawks on the car, but I expect to be pleased at the improvements.
Correction...Uh oh, I found Hawks for XKR but not XJ/XK8. Looks like Akebono ceramic will be the next best choice, unless there are listings not found in my cursory search.
