OEM should be good, since you are not racing. OEM is less dust and noise free compare to other aftermarket pad.

that is incorrect especially if we are referring to 03-04 g's. they have the most dusting brakes I know of.

I would recommend Project MU NS street pads. Loved them on the non brembo setup and love them on the Brembo's. Dusting is almost non existent.

I run Hawk HPS on my 2004 and love them. No dusting and I haven't noticed the issues some mention with less response when cool.

Hawk HPS are quiet and much more linear than OEM. No more throwing your passengers through the windshield!

05+ = oem

pre-05 oem for performance. aftermarket if you want less dust but less intial biting power.

ehhh... i have been running hawks on the front with no problems for about 10k now. no dust. i had to scrub my wheels CONSTANTLY to keep them anywhere near clean before. project mu i have been running for about 2k now... i put them on at my parents farm and i feel like i wasn't able to break them in properly, but either way i have noticed a good amount more noise since their install. although ive also noticed less dust. i'll prob stay with them till they're done then run hawk all round. pity cause i could have been hooked up with mu, i got them for REALLY cheap.
