i have duralast front and rear. lifetime warrenty, under 40 bux, no chatter, work great and don't dust too bad. plus they seem to be taking the abuse of quick stops well so far

truth in that post! i ran duralast pads on my old accord and they were fine. they were like $18 and i actually warrantied them out once...or twice. if you have to extra cash i'd spring for some hawk hps pads. they work about the same as any other pad when cold, but once you get them hot, they are many times better. although they are about $60 a set, i have been using mine for a full year and still have about 60% pad left.

OEM through an online OEM Honda dealer are very reasonable; minimize dust; and will not destroy your rotors. See for example www.bkhondaparts.com . Remember that brake pads advertised as "long lasting" translate to "long lasting pads but shortens the life of rotors." The pads are harder and eat away at your rotors faster.
