They both require some heat to warm up to operating temperature. However, the LTS run in a lower temperature range, which is more convenient for light duty towing and normal driving. The superduty pads run in a much higher temperature range, meaning they work optimally only when hot to really hot and work lesser at lower (normal cruising) temperatures. So if can keep them hot all the time, the superduties might be your better choice, but if your light on the brakes, then they probably will not stay hot enough to give you their best performance. In which case, the LTS will perform better for you.
