I like AEM a lot. I don't have experience with the others exept OEM. The AEM's are nissin like the OEM pads. They produce a lighter color brake dust than other pads.

The Hawk HPS will dust like nuts AND squeal after several thousand miles.

The Axxis Ultimates also dust pretty pad.

For daily driving AEM pads are fine.
