I look at brake statistics the same way you would look at any other performance statistics. The only fair comparison is the stopping distance, just as you would lok at horsepower or torque specs, or 0 to 60 times.
If you can find a pad that offers a shorter stopping distance, that's great. In general what I mean by properly maintaining the brakes is using the OEM pads, rotors, and brake fluid. The problem is using non-OEM components which degrade the stopping performance, although may cause less brake dust on the wheels.
