Best pads for reducing #@*^%$!!! brake dust

What pads, in your experience, are best at reducing or (hopefully) eliminating brake dust?

organics are the messy dusty ones because they are the softest, and they wear down the fastest, but are the quietest

semi metallics and ceramics are the clean ones but harder wearing on the rotors, and can be noisy sometimes



come on ppl

its really simple

if i am running stock wheels that dont really need to be cleaned often for looks then ill run organics, but if i am running nice wheels to take good care of and for looks then ill go with semi;s



good luck
