Power Stop Z26 pads and rotors. They dust much less than stock, have lower initial bite, which helps with heel/toe downshifts, but similar overall bite to stick pads. I wouldn't try a heavy track day on them, but they're great as a set for aggressive daily driving. I ran the Z23 pads on OEM discs for nine years and approximately 50k miles and they were fantastic. I just upgraded to the Z26 pads and swapped discs about 500 miles ago. Zero complaints.
I went with powerstop OE replacement pads and rotors. I went with the non-track style pads. They're quiet and aren't dusty. I don't track it, zero issues.
I run the powerstop Z23 evolutions with no complaints and no brake shuddering
9 years working at Mazda and also a master tech, to me always oem fluid. No matter what, I for everything matter in fact. Seen lots of after makers stuff and even brake pads.
Just replaced acc drive belt, plugs and brake pads. One of the easiest cars to fix I've ever worked on. Overall, best car I've ever had.

He used Powerstop Z23 pads/Evolution Geomet Rotors I bought from Rock Auto (those were about $300 shipped). He even wiped down the inside of the wheel rims.
I did PowerStop drilled & slotted with ceramic pads. Fantastic upgrade. Lasted about 2 years until they got noisy as hell.
I put power stop pads on and generic slotted rotors from local parts store.
I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.
