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 ;)

Hawks HPS are very popular among the Mazda 6 owners over at Mazda6club.com..
and believe me our stock pads sux, break dust is horrible....

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

My car had hideous brake dust with OEM pads. I switched to Hawk HPS about 6 months ago and it`s a huge difference. They`ve been really good to me.

I would suggest the EBC Green Stuff over the Hawks, but both are good choices.

I have just fitted C-Tek pads to my Chrysler SRT8 and they are great. Made in Canada. Rated to 750 degrees, low dust, low noise and low rotor wear is the claim.
The factory Brembo pad/rotor combo was bad, bad for dust and many owner complained about the squeal. I had new pads and rotors fitted after 1450 Kilometres from new and when I pulled the wheels off 600 klm later to install the C-Teks the rotors were scoring up again.
