Best brake pads/shoes for our trucks?

I have to do the brakes on my truck again (3rd set since I bought it) and was wondering if anybody here has found the ultimate brake pads. I'm looking for something with better than stock performance that won't eat rotors and aren't real dusty. Price isn't a big deal I just want quality and performance. So who makes the best?

rayebeso , not correctly spelled but thay have many choices and are fairly priced. I use there commercial/heavy duty and they work well and aren't bad on the rotors.
One thing to keep in mind with new pads and/or shoes is to bed them, break them in right. That way they will last longer
