So, with the "best" pads, how is emergency braking in the wet with carbon rims?

Let's say
1 is wet steel rims with dried up old pads - don't brake, swerve!
5 is wet alloy rims with old pads - squeeze for all you're worth and the bike will eventually stop, its just scary
8 is wet alloy rims with salmon Koolstops - weak braking for the first wheel revolution and then good braking, enough that you have to modulate to avoid front lockup
10 is wet discs - good braking right away, modulation required

Where are wet carbon rims with the best pads?
