Which Brake pads are the best for Stopping Power?

I'm servicing all of my brakes this weekend and wondering what the best pads and shoes were. I bought Performance Friction Carbon Metallic for the front and Albany Semi-metallic shoes for the rear drums. How do the PF's compare to Wagner, Bendix, etc. Brake dust is not a real concern, but stopping power is.

I've always used Raybestos semi's and thought I'd give the PF's a try,, the pedal felt more solid (a more positive stopping feel) than when the Raybestos were new,, I was pleased with the PF's,, even if they did come from Autozone
