Brake dust question

I'm in the market for new front brake pads for my 1991 190E and would like get some pads that have the least dust. Any suggestions?

I tried searching but I got a ton of stuff for "brake" and another ton for "dust" so I thought I'd just ask.

Ceramic. I like PBR Deluxe but there are lots of ceramic pads available.

I'm running Akebono pads on both of my W124's and I love them. No dust and they stop great. They didn't have them here when I got them for my 91 300TE so I got them from rock auto.
