Most drivers will agree that ceramic brake pads are the most reliable ones (e.g. the Bosch brake pad) as they provide flawless stopping power, low brake dust buildup, and silent performance. Meantime, many drivers find ceramic pads to be very expensive, so they tend to install semi-metallic brake pads having excellent stopping power backed up by outstanding heat dissipation properties and unusual durability. Organic materials are constantly improved and can easily get on top soon.
