Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.
Pros: good for daily driving

Mazda 5
I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 71000 km
I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job
Pros: inexpensive, does the job
I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: squeaking, clip issue
Mileage: 104000 km
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
Pros: none
Cons: squealed, dirty, wore fast
Mileage: 10000 km
those are worse then stock.
Cons: worse then stock
stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.
Pros: stop great
Cons: dusty and noisy
