When choosing the correct brake pads for your vehicle, you need to take in to consideration the road conditions you drive under, your own personal driving habits, and weather or not you tow a trailer with it.
OEM brake pads are the best choice for vehicles that are driven under normal conditions, they offer good braking properties, they are quiet and they last longer than most aftermarket brake pads.
Ceramic brake pads are used when minimum brake dust is desired, they offer quiet brakes, they don't tend to damage the brake rotors like semi-metallic brake pads do, the disadvantage is that their lifetime is shorter than OEM and semi-metallic brake pads.
Semi-metallic brake pads are often used when vehicles are subject to hard braking conditions, like towing trailers, going down steep hills etc., these brake pads are able to stand high temperatures caused by extended periods of hard braking conditions, the disadvantage of these brake pads is that they are the least gentle on brake rotors,they tend to become noisy if the brake rotors are glazed from high temperatures caused by hard braking; that's why it is recomended to match high performance brake pads with high performance brake rotors.
