Default Brake pad thoughts

What type of pads are some of you guys running? I'm about due for some pads, so I thought I might see what materials you all have liked based on experience. I might try the carbon metallic, but not sure if its worth the extra cash. Currently have some ceramic Duralasts and they aren't too bad.

i'm using reybestos ceramic pads that i got at o'reileys. This seems to cause the least brake dust compared to the previous set that was on my car. no idea what that was though

I'm a Hawk fan. The Hawk HP+ will be more than you ever need for street driving. The Hawk HPS are less aggressive but still plenty for street use, probably cheaper too.

Im looking for something low dust because I may paint my wheels white. Hawks are nice but I don't have time to order them and wait. So its looking like Autozone, Pepboys, or O'Reillys selection.
