Stoptech Street pads for the Akebono brakes. I've only got 16k miles on them and they still look new, despite having drilled & slotted rotors. I do heavily downshift and engine brake, which explains the lack of wear. I'd buy them again as they're quiet, but they do produce a fair amount of brake dust.

Pros: quiet, long lasting
Cons: lots of brake dust
Mileage: 16000 km

I switched from oem to EBC slotted rotors and StopTech "Street" pads about 20k miles ago. I won't be switching back. Firmer and more immediate initial bite, more consistent brake feel, and no brake fade even when carving up the canyon. This with good lifespan for the pads, zero noise, and low dust. I do have to be mindful when braking in traffic though, as the pads took about ten feet off of my 60-0 stopping distance and the performance tires a few more, and I don't want to end up wearing the vehicle behind me. I have a '16 sedan and only changed the front brakes out.

Pros: firmer bite, consistent feel, no fade
Cons: shorter stopping distance

Stop tech sports pads, from my experience it bites great. Same amount of dust as brembo. I have tracked them lots of times, great for daily too

Pros: great bite, low dust

I personally run the StopTech 309's on just about all our cars, even my SO's Sentra. The price is good, usually about the price of OEM or NAPA replacements. There's a good initial bite, but it's not overbearing. And most of all the modulate well - which is what you want for autocross pads.

Pros: good price, good modulation

I've swapped between Stoptech street pads and Carbotech XP-12 for a few years. The Carbotechs (race pads) would require some bedding in whenever they go back on the car. The rotors surprisingly lasted much longer than on the Carbotechs alone (I daily drive the car). I suspect it's due to the ideal working temperature of the Carbotech compound.

Pros: rotors lasted longer
Cons: Carbotech bedding in

OEM Porsche Brake pads

Most Porsche enthusiasts hate the Panamera eHybrids. I have had my 2015 for 3 years and absolutely love it. Best handling 4 door you will find. Regen brakes are squishy. I tool around time on all electric and then have fun other times.

Pros: best handling 4 door
Cons: regen brakes are squishy
Vehicle: Porsche Panamera

If you are dead set on not getting some Napa golds or whatever grab some Stoptech Steet pads. They are dusty as hell and wear pretty quick not in stop and go city traffic. I live in the sticks so lots of highway and running the stoptech steets on my Gx sedan they dust up bad and I swap them every 35k~. I do have the sport brake kit on it but I don't see the base calipers making much difference on dust and wear.

Cons: dusty, quick wear

Even though they have the word street in the name, they are very prone to judder and deposit build up and are not good under gentle street usage.

Cons: prone to judder, deposit build up
