As you see, opinions vary widely on this topic. Personally, I like the ceramics for longevity.
I'm not sure about boutiqueness, but I switched over to the Akebono pads a long time ago. My 2001 9-5 wagon has over 258,000, and the akebono pad/rotors combo lasted me over 90,000 miles. You mileage may vary, of course. About 50,000 miles into this, I had removed, and re-lubricated the calipers, but that's all I ever did. So, my next change, given past history, should be at 340,000 miles. We'll have to see....
