I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.
Pros: great track pad, decent cold bite, quiet

I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).
Pros: better braking feel, low dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol

I love all things zimmermann brakes. Not the cheapest but some of the highest quality in my opinion.
Pros: high quality
Cons: expensive
That being said I use brembo pads on my mito which work very well, wouldn’t be that far off for the Giulia
Pros: work very well
2012 Prius, 202k miles, still with original brakes.
2017 Prius Prime, 110k miles, still with original brakes.
Both inspected annually by our mechanic. Both still going strong.
Pros: original brakes still strong
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 325100 km
For a street only car, powerstop pads are what I ran for the longest time; very little to no brake dust, and I feel they bite better than auto part store pads; if you want to head into track-ready/entry pads, then the rest of the comments here are a decent guide at what to look for
Pros: low dust, good bite
Had Brembo. No complaints.
Pros: no complaints
My AMG (I'm just a Bimmer lurker) is the same way. Performance pads and rotor slots, my brother. PowerStop has some lower dust pads.
Pros: lower dust pads
My brakes are starting to squeak so I contacted my local Subaru dealership to get quoted on my front brakes as the rear are still in good condition. They quoted me for $1200 to replace the brembo pads and rotors as they insisted that drilled rotors need to be replaced EVERY TIME you change the brake pads as they cannot be resurfaced.
Cons: expensive, cannot be resurfaced
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 33000 km
