Brake issues

So, I've noticed brakes are not as good as I'd like on my 57plate 130. I've done some things to improve them over some time, changed discs (needed replacing anyway) fitted grooved discs, changed pads (EBC greenstuff), braided hoses on the front and recently bled and flushed fluid through. However, they still don't feel sharp like I want. More worryingly before I put new fluid in they have overheated on long downhill runs and I have almost lost all brakes completely. I can't say this is definitely fixed but hopefully new fluid will sort it.

Does anyone have a new Brake pad recommendation? Wouldn't say I'm sold on EBC greenstuff. Otherwise, any other suggestions to improve brakes?

Thanks
