You will probably need a different pad for each of your requirements. Personally I stick with the BMW pads which although are expensive and only available through BMW dealers but do the job.

I love stirring the shit.

And I'm a skeptical cynic when it comes to brake pads.

I have used Goldfren from Ebay for the last 40,000 miles on my 1200rt.
Shit cheap, and work as well as anything else out there.
Just as with all the others, I change the rear pads with each new rear tyre.

Ride it hard, ride it slow, they work at least as well as any others, and last better than the original BMW rear pads do.

However, if you give a fortune for the BMW or Brembo equivalent, you will automatically convince yourself that they are: Better/have better feel/last longer/are safer. (Delete as applicable)

Not being familiar with the Goldfren brand I have looked them up and as Myke says they do come at a very good price. I also note that they are the only pads I have seen other than the OEM BMW Pads which have the shim clipped to the backing plate.

Buy your pads from Sherlocks, the pads seem good. We use their pads on our 2010 RTP for blood biking and they work fine.
