Re: Brake Pads (sptsi)
If you're not too concerned about dusting, the Hawk HP+ are great pads.
Or, if you don't like dust, the Nissin and AEM pads are ok - not as good as Hawk, but don't dust up nearly as much.

I recommend:
Porterfield R4-S
Hawk HP+
I have also had good luck with KVR, but I suspect they use the same material at the R4-S. Price is nearly identical.
These pads are expensive, and for good reason. You get what you pay for.

Re: Brake Pads
For street/auto-x/occasional track, the Porterfield R4S is the best by far. Nice bite and little dust. Hawk HP Plus are way too agressive just for street use, dust like crazy and eat rotors. But the Hawks are awesome on a track if you plan to do any driving schools/lapping events. Instead of HP Pluses, get the HPS for street use.
BTW, I've had all these pads, so i'm speaking from experience.

Re: Brake Pads (sptsi)
Honda OEM parts are my choice since they're not too hard in material and also wont wear down youre rotors like those high friction hardened brake pads. its your choice.
