People sometimes mistakenly thing a 7 will run hotter than a 5, to reduce carbon build up.

Yeah, when they say a higher number is a hotter plug it's actually a cooler plug so that it can tolerate a hotter burn temperature as in higher performance engines. 

As for brake pads I use Red Galfer or DP.

Two stroke trials bikes ridden in trials type riding go well with a 5 or 6 heat range plug (NGK heat range numbering).

If the two stroke trials bike is used for sustained/continuous riding, like along a road or at the beach, or in desert sand, or trail riding that involves long climbs, a 7 or 8 heat range plug will work better.
