Is PCCB more durable than steel?

Does anyone know if PCCB has a longer service life than the regular steel brakes under normal D2D driving? Especially with PVT, I am wondering if the PCCB will become a better choice.

15k on steel... does that include 10 track days or so? It should.

I am not a mechanic but I can't believe street driving would kill the stock steel rotors that fast even if you are driving very aggressively and stopping hard.
