I've got 240mm disks and use EBC Yellow stuff, which are cheap and work really well.

2nd ebc yellow stuff pads. If a 1.5ton car fails to fade on the track, it will work fine on a sub ton car.

Now I'm not saying EBC pads are crap (or good) but I have to take issue with your logic
A set of pads might be great and not overheat in a 1.5t car, but what's to say they'll even get warm enough to be any good in a car
weighing half that ?
Having looked at the EBC site and checked out the different colours and what they're recommended for, I'm none the wiser. Although the
mention of better "longevity" with the yellow pads makes me think they're harder wearing and not what I'd be wanting for a
high power, low weight car

yellowstuff aren't great in an mx5 if it's any help? the bite's poor and the feel's average compared to others (axxis and
carbotech but i don't think they're available for sierras  ) overall stopping power's good but the finesse is a bit wayward
i've never heard bad things said about mintex 1144s, but i have no personal experience.

I have neither Sierra calipers, or 260mm discs but I do have Mintex1144 pads.
They have good bite from cold and have never faded on the track(unlike the standard Halfords pads).
I would certainly recommend them. Others seem to praise Green stuff pads.

I have 260mm discs now on my TVR S3 and use Mintex M1144 pads. Have found them to be great from cold with a good bit of bite and they have good
modulation. The part number is MDB1236 M1144 and there are some on that auction site at the moment.
I had heard that the M1144 pads were being replaced by Mintex Xtreme but the Mintex site isn't helpful and I can't find where I read that.

I agree with this, which is why EBC claim Yellow stuff work well in a 7. They have a higher friction coefficient than standard pads so get up to temp
easier.
I'm well pleased with mine (particularly given that they were about £30 a set) and had a noticable reduction in pedal pressure when they were
fitted.

I have Sierra Calipers, 239mm vented discs with Ferodo pads. Halfords were selling them off cheap for £13 - Bargain.
As for their performace............They stop the car. Thats it.........
