Satisfied GranSport 6 pads... yey or neigh? On my last Bird I replaced the original ones with NAPA Ceramix which I liked because the braking was still good and they were absolutely quiet with little dust. I will need to replace the pads on the Formula soon, and was looking into some other pads.
I did a search and noticed several people mentioned putting on the Satisfied GS6's but there weren't really any followup posts that I could see that said how they ended up liking them. Are they quiet? Do they stop well? How is the dust?
I may just go with the Ceramix pads again, but some of the other one's I have thought about are:
Satisfied Pro Ceramic
Raybestos QuietStop
Akebono Street Performance Ceramic
Hawk Performance Ceramic
Power Stop Evolution Ceramic
Apparently Autozone has something called the Cmax Ceramic pad now. I also didn't see a whole lot about it on this forum, although there is a positive review on an Evo board, fwiw
The Satisfied and Raybestos Ceramics as well as Autozone Cmax's should be available for local pickup, but I don't really mind ordering.
Any thoughts?

How is "breaking" good? Braking is good, though, when one wants to stop. 
Seriously, use the Hawk HPS and be amazed. Use their ceramic to get a few more miles out of them at the cost of some power. All your choices are pretty good but you can get Hawk at Pep Boys if you call around town.
