brake pad brands

recently my front brakes are starting to squeal, time for a new set of pads.

i checked with autozone and o'reilly. seems like both offers semi-metallic ones for $18.99 and ceramic for $33.99 with life time warranty.

both stores are on my way home from work, so i'm planning on picking up a set and replace them when i get off tomorrow.

the question is which ones should i get? school is about to start, so most of the time i'll be driving in local traffic which eat up the pads pretty quickly. i just want something that will last me a while without problem (dust, noise, etc), but then again i don't want to spend too much on some superduper pads.

suggestions?

thanks in advance

These brake pads are made of ceramic and have low to no dust at all. Very good brake pads and they dont wear fast.
