Looking for brake pads

Does anyone have any suggestions for good daily-use brake pads? I am looking for some with little to no noise, low dust, etc. I read good things about the Hawk pads until a few mentions of squeal came about. Any ideas?

For street use I use Hawk's HPS pads all around. With stock everything else, it stops on a dime without gripping TOO much for the street. Dusting isn't bad, and noise isn't an issue. I believe the noise/dust issues come from people using the track pads and not the street pads.

I have Hawk HPS, don't like them. Maybe it's my brake system, but I upgraded to braided lines, hadmy front 4 piston calipers rebuilt, and HPS all around, braking is very sub-par. In fact, it's not much better than before I had all that done. It makes noise too, yes, on the street, with moderate driving. I have Axxis ultimate on my WRX, brakes great, so those are next on my list.
