Default New brake pads?

I'm looking at getting the bike ready for the season and a looking at new brake pads all around.
I was wondering if there were any brands that have a good reputation or any that are junk that I should stay away from. I don't really need the top of the line since I don't go to the track yet but don't exactly want to skimp out on them either since your brakes are basically the most important part of your bike.
Thanks for the help! I'll continue to search and see what I can find.

EBC and Honda OEM are the 2 that pop into the top of my head. If you're a standard street rider, you don't need anything fancy. The OEM's are actually competetitively priced, last time I checked.

Ok thanks, I'll have to look at them.

I came across these but not sure if I should trust them, but it sure is tempting.

I found a few reviews on them here

I use Honda oem pads on both my RC51 & F4. They are excellent pads. I use them for street & track.
