I got AEM/Nissin pads and I love them. EBC pads are great too.
I got mine from http://www.nopionline.com

Depends on what you really want. If you want 20% increase in braking torque, and 80% increase in fade-resistance (say, for limited track use, for auto-x use, or even for just spirited mountain drives), while still having a pad that is rotor friendly, has a low dust level, and runs quiet, then try the Axxis Ultimate compound.
Prices are $56.25 front and $45.75 rear.
If you are happy with the OEM Honda compound, however...and don't really feel you need better stopping power, then certainly stick with the Honda pads. However, if the Axxis Ultimate is LESS expensive than the Honda part (I don't know if it is...have to call a local dealer...), then use the Axxis Ultimate instead.

from my own experience on a semi-prepped CSP CRX Si. 1990..
stock honda: dunno. not enough time to roll on them. i don't think they gave me enough stopping power.
EBC green stuff: suck. warped the rotors, which were brand new, in 700 miles after being broken in properly.
Axxis Metal Masters: i don't like these either. they fade extremely easy.
Hawk HP+: awesome for my uses, daily driver/auto-xer. i would definately buy them again. very fade-resistant.
Carbotech Panther Plus: don't know from my own experience. brother has used them at a full weekend track event with success. dust excessively. squeal excessively. these are my next pad.

carbotech p plus's - the only pad you'll ever use after you drive on them , let alone when you get on track with them -
you cant get any better for street / track / auto-x
