I have OE rotors with Akebono Ceramic pads and they're perfect. Dust is no longer an issue and didn't sacrifice any noticeable stopping power over OEM.
I put in Akebono pads and they worked fine on my 9th gen. Fantastic pads.
The OEM Toyota brakes are made by Akebono, however, you can use a quality aftermarket set and you'll be fine.
All 4 brand new brake rotors + pads + fluid – OEM spec ECS rotors w/ Akebono ceramic pads ($1100)
the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.
Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.
On these cars Akebono is as good or better than OEM with far less dust.
I am partial to the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads. Akebono is OEM supplier for a lot of brands, and they make good quality stuff. I've had their pads on a number of cars, and never a problem. Quiet, low dust, stop well.
Akebono ASP1347 rear, ASP1346 front. Ceramic pads for the sport package brake system. They uhh, like to sing when wet though.
Depends on what you mean by 'best'. I own a repair shop, and have had the opposite experience with Akebono. IMO, they're junk. They don't stop worth a damn.
