When I used to work on cars for a living, we used Car Quest for most of our parts. They had a red and a blue line of parts. The red line was the economy line and the blue was the higher quality line. We always used the "blue" pads and never had any issues. I put a set of ceramics on my Durango years back and it was really nice not having to constantly clean the black dust off the wheels.

Ceramic by Bendix. I hate the dust on wheels produced by organic and semimetallic pads. No complaints althought I expected more.

Although I don't know the part numbers from any specific brand off-hand, one of the better hi-performance street pads are any that are cataloged for Police Cars, or Emergency vehicles... they withstand heat better and last longer.

Also, sometimes the bargain private-label brands are still made by the major manufacturers, except for cosmetic appearance and/or reduced warranty offerings.

I used to be a rep for a major brake parts manufacturer and those are some of the things they told us... in fact, I witnessed the packaging and re-boxing of such items.
