I have an Electra Townie 7D. I have Kool Stop pads on the rear brakes, but now I think I'll get front ones too instead of converting to disc.

I live in San Diego, so these will only be used in dry conditions. Should I just go with these:

Black - Our standard compound which is great for all weather conditions, but designed for dry condition riding.
 
Salmon compound Kool Stops last longer than black, and have slightly better dry friction and substantially better wet friction. I hear the gray e-bike compound is awesome, but I haven't tried it yet.
 
hmm, just saw these:
Electric- Our E-Electric compound is formulated specifically for the higher speeds and weights of electric bicycles.

The few reviews on Amazon praised them.
