Brake pad recommendations

I'm traveling cross country with a trailer hooked up to my G. Looking to replace brake pads with something higher quality for the ride through mountains. Any recommendations? (I have the journey package, not sport).

I bought Akebono ProACT brake pads for my g37x along with Centric Premium rotors. Pads are pretty good doesn't produce a lot of brake dust and stopping power is still good.
