Brake pads STOPTECH or WILWOOD
I have been using Stoptechs since uhmmm.. 2009? They have good initial bite and good braking feel. The down side is that they produce so much dust.
Pros: good initial bite, good feel
Cons: lots of dust
IMHO id run the StopTech Kelvar pads part # 309.16090 only $98 Cheap & great pads! better than OE TRW & Textar Crap that fades like crazy. i do alot of HPDE track days and the Stock pads ( organic compund) fade really bad.
Pros: cheap, great pads
Cons: stock pads fade
Part number: 309.16090
I've used EBC yellowstuff, works fine. I also love the Stoptech Street Performance pads, they have a higher temperature rating and are dirt cheap.
Pros: higher temperature rating
The brakes don't inspire confidence. I replaced mine with a stoptech setup which is overkill but the feel, modulation and overall power take away one of the stock car's biggest weaknesses IMO
Pros: overall power, good modulation
Cons: don't inspire confidence
Vehicle:
Subaru
After the OEM's wear I'll upgrade to Stoptech pads.

Subaru
Highly recommend stoptech street performance pads edit: not if your dust averse which it seems you are
Pros: highly recommend
Cons: dust averse
...or Stoptech Street Performance pads. Very good.
Pros: very good
I've been thoroughly impressed with stop tech pads on OEM rotors. Definite improvement over stock while maintaining the same dust level(a lot). I would not mind doing golf r brakes or tt rs brakes up front next time around.
Pros: definite improvement over stock
Cons: high dust level
For pads, I've had the Hawk HPS and StopTech's. The HPS seem to have a higher total clamping force, but the StopTech's have a better bite and feel.
Pros: better bite and feel
I've had a couple of bad experiences with Stop Tech pads ( High Performance division of Centric ). Euro made semi metallic pads are usually very good ( ATE, Brembo, Ferodo Valeo ). Bendix Titanium II pads are very good. Akebono Premium Ceramic pads are very, very good...
Pros: Euro pads usually good
Cons: uneven deposit buildup
