Brake temp

What would you say are the normal operating temperatures for brake pads? (under normal driving conditions or a little faster, but not track stuff) Trying to figure out what brake compound I want to get. Thanks,

Oh, and would you consider $160-200 expensive for pads (front pair)?

my brake pads were $260, but they came with ART rotors.
