    The likely answer is Semi-Metallic.

    I went with Ceramic.
    Mostly because I don’t like brake dust and they tend to last longer.

    Here is a good read on the differences.
    It’s not really in-depth, bit it gives you an idea.

    Same here. the
    $61 ACT976 Brake Pad Set, GREY
    ACT976 are dead quiet, leave no brake dust and seem to be kinder to the rotors. I have a brand new second that will go in when these wear out. Maybe I don't drive it really hard but haven't noticed any difference in performance to the OEM (which for my 2015 are also ceramic)
