e320 brakes

I'm sure this has been hashed out but I'm not coming up with anything in my searches so...

Any recommendations on brake pads for my '99 E320?
Daily driver/commuter.
Looking for a good balance between low dust, good wear and low fade.
I lean toward PBR if there isn't a better choice but what flavor? Deluxe, ceramic, metal master...? The list goes on.

I recently bought pads & disks for our '98 E320 from ******** Arizona. Pads are Mintex - a less common (here) British make, made to what they say is the original composition. Seem to work just fine, no noticeable dust problem and price was quite a bit lower than others. From what I understand the more common Textar and Pagid are one and the same company these days, although the products may not yet have been merged.
