I tried the akebono pro act and they are great, but they left tons of deposits on my rotors pretty quickly (caused a good amount of vibration). I don't want to go to garnet sandpaper or lathe route every couple of months due to this.

not that it matters, but i have the DBA 4000 rotors.

 

Try Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, should dust less but still have excellent bite.
If you really want little dust, Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics would fit the bill, but will lose some points in the bite dept.
