I'm running DBA 4000 blanks on the front and standard DBA blanks on the rear. Cost me about $600 all up for front and rear.
I used to use Hawk Ceramic pads and they do dust. The dust is brown in colour, but there is still more dust than the original pads. Hawk Ceramic is also a street pad, so I wouldn't be expecting them to give you super high performance braking like what ou can get with the metallic pads.
