Default Who's making a good front brake pad

Without going crazy, what brand has the most bang for the buck in front brake pads. This truck is an around the town/occassional beach buggy although I do require it to stop, at times, on the highway. I average 10,000 miles/year. Don't want cheapies, don't want Ferrari's. Would like quiet brakes and if I have to do them again in 20-25k, no problem

The best pads i found and ive tried many, are GM REPLACEMENT pads for a 95 chevy 1500 2wd truck. i have a 2wd ram and the chevy uses the same caliper and pads as a 2wd dodge through at least 1998 models. ive tried ceramics but they suck in the rain and when cold. get the GM stock pads if u have the right year dodge where they will fit.

The best value priced pads I have found are Mighty pads. I get them from a friend of mine who owns a garage. They cost about the same as the generic Pep Boys or Autozone brands, make no dust and stop well in all conditions. They are the only brand of semi metallic pads I have used that leave literally no brake dust on my rims.
