Brake Pad HELP

Greetings,
I am in Canada for a family trip but now it is time to go home to NYC and my brake indicaters are coming on when slowing down.

I have some Proterfield Rear Pads to replace but for the front, I will dont have any replacement pads. I did find a place that sells PAGID pads. They are a German part and lower dust than OEM. I also foound a place that sells Wagner pads.

I did not want OEM due to the dust.
Anyone have any experience od advice on these replacement pads?
PAGID (made in Germany) or
WAGNER

Thank you in advance
Nick

Pagid is an OEM supplier of brake pads.

They generate dust, but in my experience squeel less than the OEM pads they replaced (either Textar, Juird, or Galfer).
