Question Brakes 1988 300E

After I fixed my fuel pump relay, it is time to attack the brakes.
The indicator came on about 10 days ago. Any suggestions on the brand?
Metallic or semi-metallic?
Thanks
ACM

I like PBR Deluxe - no dust, no squeak/squeal, easy on the rotors, and very long life (75K estimated on my car at their current wear rate), but they require more pedal effort - something you get used to quickly.

They were not that good when hot lapping race tracks, but I didn't crash.
