Default Recommendations for disc brake pad upgrade?

Replacing the rear shoes made the car feel so much better I am itching to replace/upgrade the fronts. I am considering the hawk HPS(found in the MaxMotorsports upgrade kit) but I am a little worried about the performance of any replacement. 5 Years ago, I replaced the the worn front pads on van with Satisfied brand ceramics from Tire Rack, and I ended up putting OEM back on after 3 weeks. The replacements were squeaky and felt lousy. I was out $70 and some time.

Like I said, I'm eyeing the Hawks, but I am open to suggestions....

Hawks are great pads but don't go for an extra hard compound or you will be replacing rotors more than pads. HPS are a great choice though
