Hmm, well there are a lot of great pads out there. You've got flat, waffle, CCS, wool and VC types. I probably missed some other ones. As for brands, I have found all the ones I've tried are excellent.
Sonus, LC, Edge are all good as are
Meg's. You'll have to decide for yourself in the end. Since you're going for PB's products try out Natty's original or blue they're both great waxes. Just watch out for the dusting with the SSR line. It can be a real PITA. Good luck!
