There’s various pads you can get depending whether you want resin of sintered , and also whether you want finned or not. Personally I don’t find any difference between finned or not. These will fit

be careful of not getting the earlier Ultegra pads which were wider and won’t fit.

What pads are in there now? Should be markings to say what they are.
The ones that came with the bike. I’ve never taken them out.
Right well my advice would be remove a pad and have a look, it's easy enough to do. Then you can check what came with bike if it's original and go from there.
You say above you've already ordered some so might be a bit late but might be worth doing. If you've ordered from likes of Tredz you can enter what bike it is and they'll say if compatible. There's probably dozens of pads compatible with Shimano Ultegra. As it happens I'll be interested to see how you get on as bike I've ordered comes with exact same brakes.
I checked what the calipers are BR-R8170 and in the link that KBrook kindly provided to Sigma someone asked in the FQ if they were compatible and they are according to them.
That appears to be a blank page.
Really? Shows the Shimano specifications for brakes for me. Try copying URL and paste into another browser.

LO5A RF is the standard resin pad that's usually supplied with the calipers. They last well too.
