Need some brakes pads!

Hey what's up everyone,

My brake pads need to replaced pretty soon. I want to get some high-performance pads instead of the OEM ones for my CL. I did a bit of research on it and stumbled on a couple of brands: EBC, Porterfield, and Raybestos. What's the best one among these and/or what's the best set of brake pads I can get? I drive aggressively, but then again I live in Chicago and rush hour turns me into something else. Anyway, let me know which ones you guys think are the best. Thanks for your time.

I'm liking the Akebono Ceramics...about the same cost as OEM.
Supposedly last twice as long, and leave very little dust.
Tire Rack has 'em. But there was a place I found them for less.
PM me, and I'll get it for you. (On my other PC)

I went ahead a performed the brake pad job on my driveway on Saturday. Went with the Pagids.

Today, on the way to work, I could really feel the difference. Maybe because my old pads were just too worn out, but so far the Pagids are great.
