Dennis:

We have had good experience with EBC Green pads.  Very good initial bite, no 
noise so far (make sure you use that anti-squeel goo), good pricing.  I've 
used Porterfield R4S pads, bit more expensive, works well cold, more dust 
that others.
Heard very good things about Hawk brand, no personal experience.  I'd highly 
recommend going to braided brake lines and synthetic brake fluid (like Motul) 
if legal for your class.  Big difference in initial brake feel.
