Default Ceramic Brake Pads???

OK I am about to buy a set of zinc plated rotors.. now I thought I always heard from everyone that I should get ceramic pads so my new rotors will stay CLEAN!!!

But... the guy that is sellin me the rotors said the ceramic pads would be really hard on the rotors and he said to go with some sort of posi-quiet something or other

Soooo any feedback from ppl that have nice rotors already???

I have the OEM rotors but I swtiched to ceramic pads quite a while ago and love them. They are quiet, they brake well, they don't dust much, and my rotors don't look like they've taken any extra abuse.

When I have to go for 2 or 3 weeks without washing, the front rims look just like the back. They don't have that very dark look like the OEM pads create.

I have the Axxis ULT Ceramic reinforced brake pads on oem rotors..

They are quiet, brake better than oem (the car now has brake dive), but has a lot of black dusting (think of cleaning wheels once a week). The rotors look the same but ceramic brake pads are known to cause increased rotor wear.
