Brake pads

Semi-metallic or ceramic? What's the best for this car? I usually go with ceramic brakes on most vehicles I have owned but just wanting to hear some opinions/experiences.

Also another question. There is a brake pad wear sensor (electronic) on this vehicle? (06 Avalon)

I have replaced too many rotors due to ceramic pads. OEM or organic pads I use. The Toyota brand though expensive lasted 55K. If you want cheap and limited cost use either Advance Auto Parts Gold Pads or Reilly Auto Parts $20 set. They offer lifetime pad replacement.
