Best Replacement Brake Pads?

My wife's G25x is about ready for brakes. At 50k miles, there is still material on the original pads, but I want to be proactive and replace them.

The rotors appear to be in fine shape, so I do not plan on replacing them.

The car is driven very conservatively and really doesn't need anything that is higher performance than the original pads.

What would be the best replacement for the factory pads? All the normal requirements for wear, dust, and noise are important.

TIA

No. Two different product lines. From Centric's site:






For the record, I imagine the performance difference to be fairly minimal.

Thanks for the chart. That really helps. Really leaning towards posi quiets. So where do they sell them for $41 F&R?
