I've settled on Raybestos for pads on several vehicles - affordable and they have multiple types - metallic, semi-metallic and ceramic, and standard line and a so called professional line.
Amazon has a set of ceramic 9-5 front for $20, but metallic will give you better stopping power at the price of rotor life, semi-metallic may be a better compromise between rotor life span and stopping power.
Personally I don't see value in the boutique brake brands - akebonos, ebc greenstuff and so on - overpriced.
