Items for consideration besides pad friction coefficient include pad heat range, cold torque, hot torque, and wear rate. Rotor material composition plays a part as well. Simple physics here and no free lunches... the higher the pad friction coefficient (assuming correct rotor material) the more heat you create.

+1. The fact that one driver experiences no issues while another does may also very well come down to a venue type(s) they run and cooling between corners.
