Looking for brake pads for a 05 Mitsubishi Endeavor- What ones to get?

So i've never personally bought new brake stuff yet, but the family wagon, An 05 Mitsubishi Endeavor needs some new front brake pads. What brands and pad materials have you guys used and think would be a good choice for a daily driven suv? Links to good vendors are appreciated to and if one of the vendors on here sells them i'd happily buy from them.

TIA!

So nobody ever buys brake pads? Does anybody know anything about pad material and types?

Hawk HPS are probably too extreme. I'm thinking low dust, quiet pads that aren't some super track variety.

Akebono and PBR make very good brake pads.

At first I thought you were joking like a random Japanese name and PBR beer brake pads. Turns out they're legit after googling. haha

Can I buy some from you?

That's EXACTLY what I though when I read. Sumo wrestler and Pabst beer related brake pads? Sounds like a winner.

Could make some nice slogans like, "we will stop you like a sumo wrestler." lol
