Wagner Ceramic Brake Pads

I need brake service and wanted to know if anyone has ever tried these pads before.

Thanks

They are decent. Comparable with the Raybesto quiet stop I had. For the price these pads are not bad.

I've used them. They are very quiet, however they don't perform as well as stock.

Auto Zone Duralast ceramics

I recently installed these after great results on my sons' Saturn. They stop great and are smooth....except when not using them. They rattle intermittantlyand moan and vibrate sometimes while just cruising along. I have been told this is a characteristic of some ceramics. I think they are improving, but I don't know how long I can stand the annoyance. I swore I was loosing a wheel bearing the first time I heard it. I even tool the car to a mechanic friend of mine. He checked everything out and declared it the brake pads. I had carbon fibers on before, and I believe these stop just as well. The carbon fibers just didn't last very long, but were silent. Anyone else have any similar experience.
