Default Need an OE equivalent brake pad

I need to replace my Axxis/PBR Metal Master pads (front disc, 97 EX) which never broke it correctly. Since I'm selling the car soon, I'm returning the car to stock (mostly).

Since Brembo blanks are cheaper than Honda OEM rotors, I'll be going that path.

However, for pads, Honda OEM pads are expensive so I want to look into aftermarket that are OEM equivalent. (safe, low noise, low dust). What pads can I use? (for the dense: that means NO RACE PADS)

I ended up getting Akebono ProACT pads for $50. I hope they're good.

I also got a set of Brembo blanks for $30 each. All from importrp.com
