Default Brake Pads??

Guy's I need new brakes front and rear, What pads do you think are the best? I brake hard with down shifting and by the time I get done with a hard run they feel soft. I'm getting steel lines but should I go with ceramic or ABS? tell me what you like and why..
thanks

Sintered pads always great for hard braking, you can go for the kevlar or carbon pads but they are expensive and wear your rotors out quicker

Depends on your riding style, sintered pads are good, but thet need heat to work properly, if your hanging off your brakes all the time, then go for it. But if use don't use em like you should, then they don't work as effectively, as I found out when a tin top propped in front me recently.
