I just did Akebono ProAct pads and Advics ultra-premium rotors from Rockauto. I'm pretty happy with these. Was using Wagner pads, the initial bite was better but the amount of brake dust was pretty substantial in comparison.

Pros: happy with them

Cons: more brake dust

I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.

Pros: great quality, dead silent

I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin

Pros: value service pricing

Cons: non-OEM pads

Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine

I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.

Pros: no complaints
