To those that have the or R4S, I know they dust a lot, but do they squeak much? I'm looking for a set of pads that offer good performance with minimal fade but no squeak.

Squeak is inevitable with any pad that is oriented to performance. What you can do though is use something like NAPA's anti-squeal goo on the backplate to eliminate it.

I am using the R4S and they are not squeaking for me.
They do dust like tomorrow though

Another option you might want to consider is Carbotech Panther+ or XP-8. I am unable to give you a comparison for dusting but the XP-8s I've seen in action were manageable. They are also a little noisy until you treat 'em with anti-squeal goo.
