It's also the case that many road pads have studs built in, and you can get post mount cartridge pad holders for which most of the same compounds are available as road pad cartridges.
Not to say you shouldn't experiment, I preferred the feel of cantis after I swapped to short road pads. Then I got rid of that bike and bought a Pompetamine so that I could have proper brakes.
