Brake pad compound - Same front and rear, or more aggressive up front?

Do you run the same brake pad compound front and rear? Or, more aggressive up front? I've always run one step more aggressive up front on the Corvette (Carbotech XP12 or 20 in the front and XP10 in therear). The theory being the rear pads don't get as hot so you use a lower friction pad that works properly in that lower operating range.

I need to order new pads for the Panoz and am debating same compound all around or staggered like I do with the Corvette. Previously the car had PFC-97s all around. Would go with Carbotech XP12/10 or XP12s all around.

Input?
