titanium will transfer heat slower between the brake pad and the caliper. Not sure how effective they are.
Ducts are uber effective. A must for race cars. If you put serious track miles on your M3, I'd recommend them for three reasons: Longer pad life, longer rotor life, and longer front wheel bearing life. I had them on my E36M3 race car and they worked great. Can't crank the wheels lock to lock though, so not really great on the street. If you have a dual purpose car, get a set with easily removable hoses so you can take them off for street duty.
