I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.
Pros: low dust, brake fine
I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
Pros: brake pads lasted 100k miles
Cons: brake pads at the limit
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
Mileage: 100000 km
For pads Akebono is best
Pros: best pads
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.

Have been running them a year on my MK4 R32 with my 17z BBK upgrade and they stop great, haven\u2019t faded on me in the mountains, very low dust, no squealing.
Pros: stop great, very low dust
Cons: no squealing
Vehicle:

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
Pros: rear pads fine
Cons: anti-rattle decal melted, rattling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 19312 km
I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.
Pros: pads and rotors installed
Cons: super squeaky with light pressure
Mileage: 500 km
The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...
Cons: not track pads, glaze over when cooled
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
Cons: poor track performance
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
