Carbotech makes the best pads/shoes by far, great modulation under braking, firm pedal feel...never fades, easy of rotors and easy break in process (none required if you purchase the pre-bedded ones)

One thing to be aware of: I've found that my rotors are cracking way sooner than in the past. This is due to one or a combination of:
1- Pads are better at dealing with heat these days.
2- Discs are crappier than they used to be.
3- I'm braking harder than I used to, but that indicates skill so that's unlikely,

There's also Reybestos (sold by Porterfield)... I've had good luck with their ST-43 compound. Looks like they could go 24+ hours on my Civic EX. They're a high friction compound that does require a light touch to keep from having lock-ups.
