I've always been happy with Wagner brake products.

X2 for Wagner.

Why semi-metallic? They do stop better BUT have a tendency to make noise & eat rotors.
The Wagner Themo-Quiet are ceramic based....I use these on all my vehicles.

I hear that ceramic ones take more pressure on the foot pedal to stop. and some even say they eventually squeal really loud.
