I don't think anyone can say there is a brake pad that makes no dust. All brake pads make dust, otherwise they would never wear out. PBR Deluxe makes light colored dust so it looks like the wheels stay cleaner; they don't stop as well as original pads though.
Original Mercedes (Jurid, ATE, Pagid etc) pads make black dust, but also stop on a dime

I would avoid PBR Metalmaster like the plague. I have them on my car (400SE) and can't wait for them to wear out. For the first couple of stops you may as well be pressing a block of wood instead of the brake pedal - there are no brakes.

Haven't used Deluxe Plus or Ceramic.

So the choice is do you want good brakes, or clean looking wheels?
