Looks like lots of different series. I think we would need to pick the one he is suggesting to evaluate. My personal experience is OEM type pads are best all around. Some may be better at not fading on long mountain grades, but I use gears in that situation. Brakes are only applied prevent engine overspeed. As a recent real world example I bought basic OEM metallic Monroe pads for my 300K mile XJ fronts. The old pads still had many months of service life remaining when removed. I was surprised to find they were Performance Ceramics installed by PO. The new cheaper pads stop with much less pedal effort. At the other extreme end the Performance Ceramic might he better but not in daily driving.

I’ve used Performance Friction and Hawk with excellent results in the past.
Here’s the V-Blog I mentioned. It’s well done.

The host, Jason Fensken (the Engineering Explained guy) is doing quite a job on YouTube, and I’ve found his commentary to be factual and generally correct.
