Brake pads OEM Honda or Duralast
I recently changed entire front end + all 4 rotors and brakes and even asked them extensively about future parts availability.
Pros: parts readily available
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Avg cost for me has been around 2.5k-3.5k for normal services (oil changes, washers etc.) else big services have been around 5k which includes brake pads, spark plugs etc.
Pros: normal services 2.5k-3.5k
Cons: big services around 5k
Vehicle:
Honda
I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.
Pros: Quality seems good
Cons: tabs sometimes too big

Replaced front and rear pads once. Front pads didn't need to be replaced, but I had them anyway so I swapped them out.

Cons: front pads unnecessary

After bringing the knuckle back, we reinstalled the brake pads. We had a difficult time getting the pads to sit correctly, specifically with the anti-rattle clips (prongs). Eventually, they seemed to seat properly, and we reattached the pads and caliper.
Cons: difficult to seat correctly
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 250000 km
Everyone in Aviation has switched to Duralast brayke pads, it seems... They should have stayed with Akebono.
Cons: should have stayed Akebono
I did have VTC rattle on startup but it went away before I could get around to fixing it. I also had the injectors fail, which were covered under that warranty recall. Also have a leak on the inside of the vehicle from a rear speaker gasket, that will be fixed when I get around to it in the coming weeks. I only learned I had a leak because the interior was moldy and moist. My brakes failed on track mostly likely due to me overheating them, and not properly cooling them down. I ended up melting the O ring on the piston itself. Never really got to diagnose what the issue really was just what I saw and felt. Replaced with "Integra Type R Big Brakes and a Mini Cooper Rotor". Somehow my compressor clutch wire was chopped in half, which caused me to replace the compressor. Though I probably could've just fixed the wires, but I already bought a new compressor so I just replaced it.
Cons: brakes failed on track, melted O-ring
