Best brake pads for stock fronts?

I will be upgrading to an aftermarket brake kit in the next few months, but these front pads don't seem like they will last until then. I need to replace them as soon as the truck goes back on the road (again), and would like to get a quality set.

For those of you out there with stock front brakes, what pads are you using and how do you like them? :)

Carbon Metallic's have not failed me in 15 years. No squeaks, no excessive dust and they last. For stock applications, I don't use anything else.

After being sick of all the horrible dust thrown off by the AutoZone Performance Friction "Z Rated" carbon metallic pads, last fall I switched to AutoZone's "Duralast" Ceramic pads. While I admit they are for my CBR LS1 12" front brakes, I bet they make the same pad for stock brakes.

So far the braking power is better, and the dust has disappeared!! I'm sold on Ceramic for life. (for street duty).

As a bonus, the Duralast Ceramic pads feature a stainless steel backing plate, which shows through the brake caliper - keeps it looking nice!! Never seen that before on another set of pads.

I use Autozone Carbon Metallic pads too. I like them a lot for stopping and holding power but like Tooky said, they do tend to throw some dust around. However, ever sicne I did my rear wheel cylinders, I havent noticed much dust at all.

Ouch! You weren't kidding about the $ part. If I end up stuck with these brakes long term, I imagine I would go with a set of these, so we will see...
