What pads are you running?

I am getting ready to tackle doing my front brakes and was currious as to what pads everyone is using..
I don't currently have much brake dust (not like some do anyway), and have had minimal squeaking. But I can see that my pad are going to be toast by my next rotation.

I want something that doesn't put off much/any dust. Will last me awhile, and will be able to handle stopping a Single axel 6x12 Enclosed trailer. (Plan to pull a few times a month)

Any and all advice is welcomed!

Thanks guys!

I have Monroe Premium Ceramic pads all around on my truck. I only have a few hundred miles on them but really like them so far.

I picked up my Wagner TQ's for around $15 from Advance after a little time on Google for a discount code (20 off 50) and the $15 rebate from Wagner.
They have been on the truck for 3k now with very little dust. I like to use the local/chain parts guys for things that have a lifetime warranty for quick and easy replacements.
