I won't be using them in the snow next year. I picked up the car at the end of Feb, so I'm not springing for snow boots in March; I'll wait until next year. I guess I'm stuck with the RS-A's....

KVR Performance makes a Kevlar/Carbon Fibre pad that produces very little dust. I've used them on my old Contour and Spec V's, and they've been great. Very little fade even under aggressive braking. The only downside is they're a pretty hard pad, so by the time they wear out, so will your rotors.
