Brake pad confusion

Hi troops,
Ummmm so it’s nearly Brake pad time and I’m going to stick with brembo. However I’m confused, the last time I bought pads I thought the SA pads we’re best for road. Good temp to brake coefficient.

However it seems the line up has changed a wee bit and the brembo website is saying I have a choice of:

RC = racing only and avoid
SC = racing and fast road. I Would normally avoid but the coefficient graph is really good.
LA = road use and probably my go to and possibly the replacement for the SA pads.
Or some sort of carbon ceramic one; which is what their configurator recommends! Normally I’d avoid anything with carbon ceramic. But again the coefficient graph is good.

What’s everyone else running? Or thoughts on the brembos welcome
