EBC Green Stuff, Axxis Deluxe and Hawks HPS are just a few.

Hawk HPS all day. They may squeek a little, but I actually like that.

My Honda van will have little dust on the wheels after 3-400 miles and it has ceramic pads on it.

I have Akebono Pro Acts ceramics and no brake dust at all...also no sqeaks....they run about $70 a pair but worth it..also not harsh on the rotors like some pads...

I run Hawk HPS. Some slight squeel (yes I used the spray stuff), but good none the less. I also hear Morse Ceramics are very good also.

Not Bendix. I get a lot of dust with them. But they really do have good bite for an off the shelf pad. And I like to support Honeywell, since they let me use their chem abstracts

HPS are a good all around brake pad with low dust, but not the best for stopping power IMHO. If you want stopping power, you will have lots of dust. Generally the more dust, the better stopping since the pad is "cutting" into the brakes and creating more friction.

steveo, you make absolutely no mention of what sort of vehicle you're trying to outfit.

I've had good luck with the following:

Rofren
Remsa
Mintex Red
