Hawk HPS 5.0 Pads + Stoptech cryo-treated rotors - done as part of a total brake rebuild; slightly more bitey than stock, just how I like it.
Pros: more bitey than stock

I had the Akebono Euro pads installed on my 18 Alltrack last week. Much less dust is generated by the Akebono Euro than OE pads (manufactured by Jurid). Akebono pads feel noticeably linear in braking power, while the OE pads have a tight initial bite on the rotors. Overall I would say OE pads have better braking power than Akebono pads. Yet I am very happy with the change, simply for the balance between performance and dust of the Akebono pads.
Pros: less dust, linear braking
Cons: less braking power

I recently replaced my 18 GTI SE front pads with EBC Red stuffs. My only regret is not doing it day one. Great performance and 90% less dust.
Pros: great performance, less dust

I would stay away from Hawk pads. I've never had good luck with them... terrible feel when cold, poor lifespan and even had two sets start chunking and coming off backing plate.
Cons: terrible feel, poor lifespan
