Default Best brake pads?

i just bought some Brembo cross drilled and slotted brake rotors, and i was wondering what would be the best brake pads to put on. the guy i bought them from mentioned something about kevlar brake pads or something, but i didn't really catch what he was saying. anyway, any help would be awesome. thanks.

I always see the name endless or toms come up when I think of top name brake pads.
Ceramic pads are good because they dont fade under constant braking.

Don't they make body armor out of Kevlar? If so, if it saves peoples lives when shot, then why not do the same when braking.

EBC Green Stuff pads use Kevlar but they cost roughly twice as much as performance metal pads which will work quite adequately. I had AEM/Nissin pads just in the front and they worked great.

I'm running Carbon Metallic compound pads that are made for Dave Turner Motorsports in San Diego. I like them a lot. 100 bucks front and rear...

Ceramic Pads are actually what the manufacturer calls for on newer models. They deal with heat really well which saves the rotors alot of stress.

are there any that are necessarily better or longer lasting for cross-drilled and slotted rotors?

I'm running the powerslot rotors with porterfield R4-S.... they're made out of kevlar I believe and they don't wear down as fast as endless and they give off less dust than axxis.... pretty good stuff
