XC brake pads..

[Losttheplot]

Looks like i need to replace the pads on my XC again.


I've been using BMW sourced brembo pads so far, but i see there are a few other manufacturers making pads as well, such as EBC, Kyoto ect.

Are there any better than the brembo pads for performance and life span? and more to the point, any manufacturers that should be avoided like the plague?
