Wagner ThermoQuiet or Akebono ProAct Ceramics?

I just ordered the slotted RTP rotors for all four corners of my 04 Max from the group buy section.

Has anyone used the Wagner Thermoquiets ORGANIC pads. Organic is the only Wagner type pad my Checker Auto Parts store carries locally.

...or I can order the Akebono ProAct ceramic pads off Tire Rack and have them shipped to Hawaii for the same price as the Wagner's.

Any feedback is appreciated because I really want the Akebono's but am pretty curious about the performance, wear, and dusting on these "technologically advanced" ThermoQuiets.

It is a daily driver and we don't even have a track here so I don't want the Hawk's for all you hardcore Hawk fans out there. My intent is consistent, quiet, and clean!

have you looked at rockauto.com ? its a good website for cheap parts and there is a 5% discount code too. They have the Akebono there and Wagners, which i think is cheap.

Thanks, I actually just ordered a radiator fan assembly from them for my Alti a couple days ago. Their prices on pads are even better than Tire Rack and I did go with the Akebono ProAct.
