Did a search but didnt fine much info on whose best. This is our family wagon, no sports car. Would like to get some dustless ones if possible so I dont have to wipe the wheels every other day! Found some on one site that claim "50% less dust, hey 50% would be much improved. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I've tried many different ones. The best luck I had with the "Green Stuff" pads. I think tirerack sells them. They are more expensive, but the last significantly longer and also produce much less dust. I have them on the front know, they are about 15K miles old.

EBC Green Stuff are less dusty. I have heard they work well, but not as good as factory pads, but I guess it is a trade off for less dust.

Porterfield makes nice pads that I believe don;t dust as much, but they are very pricey, but everyone I know who has used porterfield's thinks they work great.

I have always used stock pads on my car. They always work well, and dusting the wheels is no big deal. only takes a few minutes...

I had EBC GreenStuff on my CLK. They were nearly dust-free, however they were also noisier than OEM. I had Porterfield R4S on the 500 before my current set, and they were excellent. However, they were also very expensive, and I didn't really make use of whatever performance benefit they offered. I'm currently using PBR Deluxe pads, and they are well-suited to my needs. Quiet, low dust, affordable, and about the same performance as the factory pads. However, I have noticed that they lose some grip in wet weather. Not a big deal in Southern California, but could be troublesome in rainier areas.

I really like the EBC greens on my 500E ...I also put them on my allroad. Both cars and brakes survived a few tracks events with no problems. Better than OE on the street IMO.

Great initial bite, very low dust, don't seem any noisier to me and no rear application (yet) for the W124...but rears are really not in play that much. Try them.
