Definitely Hawks. I have them on Brembo drilled rotors and the stopping power is great, not to mention very quiet.

Hawk HPS if you want maximum stopping power and don't mind the brake dust.

Hawk Ceramic pads if you want a low amount of brake dust, but still a lot better stopping power than stock

Wow, according to this thread, there don't appear to be any other options besides Hawk, haha.
