Suggestions on brake pads

I'm going to get new brake pads fairly soon, and want to here some options and opinions. Right now I'm looking at Dezod X rated, but have also heard good things about other pads. Anything will help! I don't want ANY squeaking, my Axxis's right now squeak like a **** and it ____es me off.

So, anything BESIDES Axxis.

No squeaking? Not sure there. Could try Hawk HPS... but I don't really know how they are on noise.

I just got the TRDs. They squeak like a **** if you have the brake pedal pushed lightly, it seems like its starting to go away as they get broken in tho.

Go with Dezod X-rated. No squeak and low dust.

yeah, dezod x-rated sound great, i think i remember dezod himself posting that they do squeak when they are cold, or on cold days in winter.

my next set will either be dezod x-rated or EBC red stuff.

Yeah I'm not kidding they're that good! Minimal dust, high bite, just a great pad.

Can Dezod do the same for the price/mileage?

yea they can, i changed them at 35k and now i have 90 k and still have some meat on them (truth) and for the money i spent on them i cant complain :D

oh and i get hardly any dust!
