Brake pad noise

Brake pad noise
Hi Guys,
98 I30. Car has 132K on the clock. I have had the car 3 years. Going thru the previous owner records I can't find any brake service records. I am getting a faint grinding noise when I stop at lights, so I believe I am due for some new pads. I can't see the pads very well thru the wheel, so I will probably pull the wheel off to get a better look. I would like some recommendations on pads- semi metallic, ceramic, best brands? Thanks all.

If the car needs brakes, the Akebonos pads are excellent. Another excellent pad is the Wagner Therom Quiet. You should replace the rotors and do a proper bedding in procedure for optimal performance and life.
Google brake pad bedding procedure for instructions.
FYI - there really is no such thing as a warped rotor, it's pad material transfer that causes brake judder.

If you want ceramic with less dust then try autozone's ceramic pads.
Front DG653
Rear DG540
They have a lifetime warranty. Being a well known customer I trade them in for new pads every 6 months with no questions asked.
The autozone duralast gold rotors are also high quality. With over 50,000 miles they are nearly as thick as new.

I'm really impressed with the Powerstop Extreme pads which are a Hybrid formula of ceramic/carbon fiber and man these pads and their Xdrilled/slotted rotors really stop this My 5.5th Gen like crazy!!!!....Gotta upgrade my 4th Gen and 3rd Gen brakes now

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I am going with akebono ultra premium ceramic pads. I will use new Brembo rotors. I will clean them before I install them and check the run out on them just because I don't want any shimmy. I have done my own work for 25 years on Camry's I have owned. I really think this car puts a Camry to shame. It feels sturdier and tighter in the steering. I will be back for more input if I need help but I have done brakes before, but that was about 10 years ago.
Thanks all.
