brake pads...what brand is best?

what brand do you guys prefer? I'm looking to get a pair of pads for the stock calipers on the '95 SE. I've had carbon friction Z rated, and the stillen pads they sell with the x-drilled rotors, and also the stock pads.
what brand of rotors do you guys like? slotted or x-drilled or stock? what is most resistant to warping from hi-speed stops?

i believe x-drilled are the most prone to warping.

I know the x-drilled only last 30k miles, but i've never seen warping with them.

Potterfields i hear stop the best .. but they dust too much..
Axxis metal i hear arn't that bad..

X-drilled don't warp.. they just have a tendency to crack later on.. if you tend to wash your car after the brakes are hot.. or drive in the rain often... or snow.. blah blah blah

Do you guys have any links to companies that sell these brake pads, or can I find them in the links section of the org?
