Brake pads STOPTECH or Centric
IMO do not put anything OEM on the car as a replacement. Find something with a better pad/rotor combo that doesn't leave deposits Ilike Centric stuff a lot with the Ceramic pads. Good combo
Pros: Good combo
Cons: rotors at 30k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 30000 km
Centric Premium Rotors front and rear: left as is Stoptech Street Pads: left as is

I switched to Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads and not only they brake better, but produces little to no dust.
Pros: better braking, low dust
I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness
Pros: improved brake feel, firmness
Cons: brake fluid black
Mileage: 28000 km
Just did all 4 of my rotors and pads(rear pads were gone no warning and destroyed a rotor)
Went centric premium rotors all around, they’re nice and painted black on the outer surfaces
Stoptech sport pads all around, quite abit of bite I’ve been able to drive them in pretty cold temps and rain now with no issue
Pros: good bite, cold temp performance
Cons: destroyed rotor
Vehicle:
Subaru
I've been running Centric for a while. Good price, not much dust, they work ok. Not much grab when very cold (ambient temp below 40), but they warm up pretty damn quick, so not a huge deal. Never heard a single squeak, so 10/10 for noise.
Pros: good price, little dust, quiet
Cons: poor cold grab
Centric high carbon blank rotors and Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Great daily driver combo.
Pros: great daily driver combo
Stoptech front slotted rotors (upgraded to 340mm) & rear, Street brake pads & stainless steel braided lines

I'm running stop-tech sport pads and easily have eaten away 50% of the pad after 1 track-day - which I skipped two sessions of.
Cons: pad wear
