the rattle is the pads moving in the caliper, no worries there just a bit annoying, you can glue them to the caliper piston to stop it.
not working from cold : sounds like you have some track day pads or similar hard compound that needs some heat in there to get them working properly, not ideal if all you do is road work, could do with changing the pads to something softer imo.

Mintex 1144's seem to be a good compromise between raod and track.

good choice .. work well in most conditions and are dirt cheap
