I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.
Pros: quiet, low dust

OEM pads and rotors for brakes
OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight
Pros: long lasting stock setup
Cons: less mileage after swap
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 140000 km
I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.
Pros: avoid squeaking
Cons: cheap stuff might squeak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I installed the Bosch ceramic pads on a Hyundai Sonata, no issues with it
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
OEM is never bad for the brakes, Raybestos and EBC are considered some of the best for Xterras, both give you plenty of different options to go with as well. Personally, Raybestos was easy and shipped within a week
Pros: easy and shipped fast
Vehicle:
Nissan
Jurid is good brand, I have ceramic pads on all the family BMW and they are nice very light brake dust on wheels, I used akebono pads, but I would not have an issue if I had to switch to Jurid
Pros: light brake dust
Vehicle:
BMW
I got Bosch pads for my '15 off of Amazon. They've been fine on the street, but I've not really pushed the brakes hard
Pros: fine on street
Cons: not pushed hard
Vehicle:
Subaru
Finally did brakes all round last year...had been warped for a long while, but held up well
Pros: held up well
Cons: brakes had been warped
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Mileage: 160000 km
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
Cons: too aggressive, noisy when cold
This time the shims on the back of my new Brembo brake pads are rotating? Weird! Can’t figure out the mechanics of that happening. Doesn’t make any sense. Only a month old.
Cons: shims rotating, unexpected issue
