Default ceramic vs. semi-metallic brake pads

hi all - after 39,000 miles, i need new brake pads. i want to go ceramic, but the parts guy said semi-metallic is the way to go, as they are easier on the rotors. i guess the ceramic pads (because they are so hard) cause hot spots on the rotors - which in turn - causes warpage. anyone out there know the scoop on ceramic vs. semi-metallic pads?
