Morse ceramic brake pads?

Anyone here using Morse ceramic brake pads? I'm considering switching to ceramics mostly to cut down on the dust, especially with winter approaching which means less frequent cleaning. Autozone sells these for a reasonable price, but I also plan to check with the local NAPA, AutoValue, and Carquest stores. Recommendations welcome.

After lots of web searches, I went with Akebono ceramic pads. Got them from an eBay seller for $122 shipped (front and rear). Took my time, cleaned all the wheels inside and out while they were off, stopped twice for a smoke, test drove, and was done in less than two hours. They seem to feel no different than the original pads, which is fine with me. Looking forward to cleaner wheels!

Nice looking truck I had some Akebono Ceramics on a previous car and they worked well. I have the Napa's on this truck and they have been holding up nicely. Have you gotten snow up there yet...lol... I used to live just north of Detroit and I swear that since I live down in GA now my blood has thinned out and I think when its in the 30's it is absolutely insane. I miss the snow for the first week then it gets old to me.

No snow yet, although it felt cold enough today. When it gets here I'm ready:
