Porterfield pads....

I would go with Porterfield R4S pads, very grippy even cold, low/no dust, very rotor friendly, great modualtion, last well, good pedal feel. I think they are about $100 per axle these days but well worth it.

I ran a set on my wifes mini van when we moved to Puerto Rico, they saved us from several accedents (driving is a full contact sport). I replaced them with some carbon metalic pads from Raybestos ($75), my wife thought there was something wrong with the brakes! These pads suck! Especially at that price. I will put a set of Porterfields on my BMW 320is at the end of summer.
