Default Brakes : Duralast or Wagner?

I need new front brake pads for my car...


Which one should i get?


Autozone : Duralast
Advance Auto Zone: Wagner


I'm thinking duralast would be the best one between the two...

Both cost about $45.

Any other good brand around the same brand, anyone can suggest are good for a reasonable price.... would like different suggestions and opinions to see what i should get....

I got the duralast gold pads installed around 1-2 years ago, no squeaks, good grip and I just checked them the other day, looks like I won't be needing to replace them for many more years.

I changed the pads on my wife's '06 LX Civic at around 70k- went with Honda factory pads. They were pricey ($70) but think about it- the first set lasted almost 70k. You do get what you pay for.
