What Your Go To For Brake Pads?

Hey all, came over from my 2006 E55 and was curious what everyone recommended for brakes pads and where you get the best bang for your buck?

Thanks!

For my preference, id always gone to MB dealership for OEM pads.

I'm curious about this myself, I installed Akebono pads on an SL500 I previously owned and the brake dust was almost non existent. I've heard that you lose some stopping power on the 55's with these pads. Any opinions on this?
