I'm doing 10/8's with brake duct cooling on stock discs and its a a world of difference in confidence that my brakes will last a 30 minute session. I'd recommend a 12/10 only if you're running a really aggressive tire. If you get too aggressive on pads and not enough tire, you risk your abs going into ice mode.

The more aggressive the pads, the more grip you need from the tires.

I don't think you would need anymore than what has been recommended unless you are running a true racing tire like Hoosiers.
