As far as noise as long as you put the shims in I didn't hear a difference in noise over other pads. When the add says low dust, BS, ether deal with dirty rims or spend a lot of time cleaning them.

You're better off getting something more specific to your needs, I know that they throw a lot of dust, and come off the backing plate if they get too warm (at a lapping day), like so: 
1 track day and not a whole lot of city driving on those pads..

get KVR carbon fibre pads, they are friggin great. i have had them on my last 3 cars. I will not buy anything else. They are quiet, dont dust like EBC's and they are actually pretty cheap. I got mine from Performance Improvements

Broken in - yes.
Brake ducts - why should a stock brake powered car need ducts for the street, and 1 lapping day? I had stock pads in a heavier car I took to Shannonville (same place) and they held up fine in comparison..(they were newer, but by no means performance).
