I’ve used dozens of different pads on VWs and other makes, for regular driving with low dust and massive pad and rotor life? I’d use Akebono, made in USA and no pads are higher quality but some can be equal. Are you running it really hard? You’re gonna be replacing whatever you put on so semi-metallic can't be beat,cheap and has the best feel as well because it wears the rotor and pad together!!! Pagid or Bosch QC are hard as a rock and fade free with great feel but dusty. More importantly you need to do the job correctly, the pad is the least of your worries if you’re new to doing it, find YT brake vids for your car if you are, I still watch them to find my mistakes.
Pros: low dust, long life, cheap, great feel
Cons: dusty (Pagid/Bosch), wears rotor
I believe if a VW dealer replaced your pads they’d be semi metallic, stop quickly, and have a good amount of brake dust. I went with Akebonos and yes they have a tiny bit less bite. But I have virtually no brake dust and I hear they last a fair bit longer. I’m happy with them
Pros: less brake dust, longer lasting
Cons: less bite
I use my s4 for dd, and use Stoptech cross drilled with Akebono ceramic. The lack of brake dust is unbelievable, and this set up generally gets me tons of miles out of them
Pros: unbelievable lack of dust, long lasting
I personally use OEM rotors direct from Mercedes and Akebono ceramic pads to eliminate brake dust. Those work just fine for me.
Pros: eliminates brake dust, works fine
I just replaced all four corners with Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads. Much reduced dust.
Pros: reduced dust
I have OE rotors with Akebono Ceramic pads and they're perfect. Dust is no longer an issue and didn't sacrifice any noticeable stopping power over OEM.
Pros: low dust, good stopping power
Vehicle:
Audi S4
I put in Akebono pads and they worked fine on my 9th gen. Fantastic pads.

The OEM Toyota brakes are made by Akebono, however, you can use a quality aftermarket set and you'll be fine.
