Default Brake pads

What brake pads are you guys using? I want to stick to organics, so what do you guys recommend, and where can I buy them?

Close your eyes and throw a dart. I'd be surprised if the local Auto Zone/Advance Auto didn't have them. Napa certainly would.

Default Autozone has some nice ones for $39.99 a pair.

they have cheap ones, but the nice ones look so much better. Semi-metallic, but finely engineered.

Considering this car won't be seeing auto-x or a road course for quite some time, and taking into account the detriments of semi-metallics, I think I'd rather stick with the organics. I'd rather not have to get my rotors cut any sooner than necessary, and brake squeal/extra brake dust is definitely something I can do without.
