I've been pleased with the Ferodo's I put on last summer. Don't know what was previously on my Box when I bought it, but you would see brake dust 1 day after washing it. The Ferodo's can go close to 1 week. And they are quiet until some dust builds up, but quiet down again after a bath. They go for about $200 for both front and rears. Haven't had them on long enough to know how they wear, but that's subject to a lot of variables anyway. I haven't tracked mine, it's a daily driver, and I don't drive like M Schumacher.

I had Porterfields on a previous car when I beefed up the brakes and clutch. Low brake dust was a VERY welcome change. Don't let that brake dust sit on the car for too long, particularly in the hot sun. it will eat right through the clear coat. Strip the wheels with a Dawn type liquid or a dedicated wheel cleaner like P21s each time you wash. And don't spend too much time coating them with wax, brake dust cuts right through that.

I replaced all of my pads with Mintex for about $110 from PelicanParts.
