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

Pros: super quiet, fine dust

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

My preference is either OEM, or Brembo rotors and Akebono pads. I have had good performance on multiple cars with the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads.

Pros: good performance

Textar pads are OEM I believe. My advice is just avoid brembo pads. Mine create so much dust my wheels look awful a day after being cleaned

Cons: lots of dust
