Different pads will work differently on different rims.

Make sense?

Many carbon manufacturers work with specific pad vendors and develop pads that work best with their rims. They adjust compounds to match resins.

The best option should be the specific pads offered by the rim vendor, when possible. Some rim makers don't offer pads. Some rim makers don't do a great job and just choose from the best open mold pad their vendor has.

My point is that you should look for others who are riding the same rims as you and ask them. The best pads for my rims might be terrible on yours and visa versa.

Having said that, there are several pads that work pretty well on almost all rims. You've already covered those. You'd probably be fine with any of those.
