For daily use, check the e36 Zimmermann/Akebono kit from FCP euro, lifetime warranty on them (I replaced mine with no hassle for the cost of shipping). They don't bite as nice as the OEM pads... But they also don't dust over your wheels going to the grocery store...
Pros: lifetime warranty, low dust
Cons: less bite than OEM
Vehicle:
BMW
I also have a '95 325i and recently installed the front and rear "OEM Plus Brake Kit" from Bimmerworld which came with a full set of Zimmerman zinc coated rotors, StopTech "street" pads, new rotor retaining screws, caliper bolt covers, and a set of pad sensors. Last weekend I went for a short drive in the mountains and was very impressed with the overall performance and feel from the new setup. Also so far I've noticed less dust vs the unknown pads that were installed by the previous owner.
Pros: good performance, less dust

For daily use, go for brembo blanks on your rotors. Oem pads are great for that initial bite but HORRIBLE on dust. I would go for akebono ceramic pads. They need a little more time to be warmed up but they’re great imo. Hardly any dust, super quiet, and they do just fine on my occasional canyon runs.
Pros: hardly any dust, super quiet
Cons: needs warm-up time

I run PowerStop crossdrilled/slotted anti rust on my Infiniti and my truck. I've used them for a few years and like the braking on them. Have had no issues over 30000 combined miles with the heavy load on the truck and spirited drive of my car. I've also installed the PowerStop OEM grade pads and rotors on some friends cars and they have been very pleased. I also use the PowerStop pads with these setups.
Pros: like the braking
