Use Akebono ceramic pads. They have like 5% less bite than the performance pads but last way long and produce wayyyyy less dust. In emergency situations the grip is limited by your tires, so that 5% performance loss isn't really worth anything for daily driving.
Pros: less dust, last long
Cons: 5% less bite

I would stay away from ceramic Akebonos. Out of all ceramic pads I tried, they felt the most dangerous. They had close to zero initial bite and required three times the leg effort to brake.
Cons: zero initial bite, dangerous
Akebonos are a good, quiet, low cost, and low dust option for the street. They also get rid of the annoying "bite" that the original pads have. They're a much more progressive pad. Don't try to track them though.
Pros: good, quiet, low cost
Cons: don't track them

I have a 2000 E39 that I’ve owned since new. About five years ago I got tired of the brake dust and decided to try Akebono’s. I regretted it as soon as I drove it for the first time. The BMW brake feel was gone and I had to press on the pedal twice as hard.
Cons: BMW brake feel gone

Akebono has had the best blend of low dust low noise and good initial bite. I’ve used hundreds of different pads at my shop over the 14 years it was open and they were consistently the ones that had the least amount of problems.
Pros: low dust, low noise
Cons: least amount of problems

I've also been using Centric 120-series brake rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for years. The pads are long-lasting and amazingly dust-free.
Pros: long-lasting, dust-free
If you are cheap like me you will swap to Akebono Ceramic pads. Rotor will last 4x longer.
Pros: rotor will last longer
Akebono are the oem makers for toyota pads. I have used those with great results on a higher quality rotor.
Pros: great results
Vehicle:
Toyota
I believe Akebono makes them. I put them on all my cars, the ceramic pads are quiet, little dust, don’t fade and last a long time.
Pros: quiet, little dust
Cons: don’t fade
