Default Brake Pad Upgrade

Brake pads will need changing soon, and wondered if anyone can recommend an upgrade on the stock pads? If I do change from the OEM pads the replacements must not squeak, and not cover the wheels in brake dust. They must perform well under normal driving conditions as well as improved durability under hard braking.

Any suggestions?

Porterfield R4S (I think) have been mentioned approvingly on a number of occasions.

Just fitted EBC Redstuff Ceramic pads to my S rear brakes. First impressions are really good but a rain soaked Castle Coombe was probably not the best way of assessing them. They do seem less snatchy than the originals (which wore out in 11.5k) but the braking is at least as good as before.
Honda dealer investigated my premature wear and found nothing wrong, so while the car was there I asked them to fit the pads conveniently located in my centre box, which they did.
The good thing is they were only about
