Default Front brake pads

Need to replace the pads on the front of my 94. Car is stock and is a DD. I can get ceramics from AZ for $60 or ACDelco for $130. These are available locally so these are my choices. Any recommedations?
I want good stopping power but minimal or no dust.
Again, this is a Daily Driver and never sees a track or any competitions.

What brand is the AZ pair? I had Bendix ceramic pads on my last car and they worked very well, also very low dust.

I've got Napa ceramic on my front and am happy with them. Almost no dust, and the car stops well even after some "enthusiasitc" driving.
