There are many variables that go into selecting the right brake pads. Drivers will talk about initial bite, brake pressure required, modulation, release, and pedal feel. Engineers will look at things like brake pad wear, rotor wear, temperature profiles, coefficients of friction, and many more things.
Operating temps are very important for the life expectancy of many wheel related items. Wheel bearings, bearing seals, caliper seals, brake lines, tires, brake fluid and many more related items absorb significant amounts of heat from the braking system. All of that heat is a considerable factor in how long those items last along with how long the brake pads will wear before losing friction levels and wearing out.
