Best brake pads?

So what are a good set of front brake pads and where can I find them. My truck needs new ones and I don't want to get the Albanys at auto zone because they do nothing but squeal and I can't stand that.

Every vehicle I have ever owned seemed to squeal with autozone albany brake pads. they do have other brands that seem to be a bit better.

I have the Performance Friction Carbon Metallics from Autozone, and they are great. I put them on my Expy as well.

never tried auto zone for brakes, but iwill say stay away from pep boys lower dollar ones. had them on my markviii and was constantly sanding pads because they kept glazing up and causing noise. i know motorcraft has some decent ones, and they're not alot more than aftermarket.

I bought a set of Performance Friction Carbon Metalic pads from Autozone 4 yrs ago with lifetime warranty and they have been great. I have used the warranty 5 times for another set for no charge.

My bendix pads never give problems and you can't hear anything from them.
