Thanks guys

Here is my order of preference on the pads I've used. best to worse in terms of performance.
Axxis/PBR Ultimates
Axxis/PBR Metal Masters
Stock Nissan replacements
Raybestos Quietstops (these pads suck in terms of "performance" in my experience they will fade terribly after 5 or so consecutive moderate to hard stops . Worse than stock pads. However if you never will get hard on your brakes then theyre fine. They're very quiet and I only have to wipe gently on my wheels whenever I washed the car if people care more about that than performance ).
And I use Brembo blanks w/ all my pads too

MUCH agreed. ANY non-OEM pads will squeak and give off hella brake dust. I got Axis Metal Matrix's and I'm dissatisfied with noise and brake dust.
The only way to truly improve braking is bigger rotors or different calipers.
Good luck.

I get the front pads for about 30 bucks from Autozone. I don't think I could beat that with Porterfields and I go through a set a year.
Different strokes for different folks I guess...

I went through 2 sets of Porterfields before I swtiched to Raybestos QS. The Porterfields were awesome but they dusted like crazy. My QS pads don't perform nearly as well but hardly dust at all. I will probably try the Axxis MM pads next.

wagner thermoquiets, good replacements for oe. very quiet, some dust, and wear well for nonperformance braking. i paid 'bout $40 and got a ltd lifetime warranty-you gotta ask about the warranty- wasn't a selling point. almost 2 yrs on 'em-28k recently replaced under the warr.

EBC GreenStuff pads are good, from my experience with them. They grab harder than you would ever need, and they last pretty long. I think I had mine for like 25K miles.
They do dust a lot, but any pads that are good stopping pads will.
