Pad choice does not warp rotors.

Which EBC pads are you looking at? They sell more than one compound.

EBC Greens vs AEM? Hrmm...what kind of driving do you do? Driving causes warped rotors; guys who use Hawks HP+ (track pad) are obviously going to go through rotors and pads much quicker than someone using stock pads for daily driving.

The AEM's are pretty much a stock replacement pad; they don't bite all that much harder. I wouldn't really bother with them if I were you. I don't know much about the greens; why are you considering these 2 pads specifically?

I just do street driving, no autocross. Basically it comes down to the AEM, EBC Greenstuff or maybe Hawk HPS. I'm looking to get one that stops better but doens't squeal alot. Currently using MM..wanna try something else.

How about Axxis Ultimates? Not sure if it's the same grade as the MM.

Hawks HPS are very popular, you may want to give them a try.

Wait how does a pad stop better? Can't it only feel like its grabbing more? The only corrolation between stopping better is the tire traction on the road.

Aftermarket pads offer higher temps so they don't fade as much correct?

HPS pads are good, but they dust like a sum*****. Go with the Greens for average driving, HPS if you want some bite but beware, you'll be cleaning your rims often.
