Default brake pads type which one ?

My 2004 accord is due for new front brake pad. I got 57K out of them... I am OK with stopping power but after 36K miles, rotors had grooves at the outer edges and shakes on braking at highway speeds. I resurfaced the rotors then managed eek 20K additional miles.. I am guessing it is due to OEM pads (Ceramic)

Now I am looking at the different pad types and trying choose carefully.
I am looking for daily driver performance, decent life out of it.
I have been looking for real world info in brake pad type and they are hard to come by over internet..

I am ruling out following
Semi-Metallic - eats rotor and short life
Organic - what my Accord had and don't want to do it again

Now I am thinking about these two
low metallic
Organic..

Please let me know your experience/opinions... If you saw info on any website do share
