Upgrading to Akebono BBK

I'm upgrading to an Akebono BBK from stock and was wondering what the best pads are for street driving. I'm looking at OEM vs Hawk HPS. What other options are available for the Akebono calipers?

Thanks!

Just found these Akebono Pro-acts. Are these the OEM pads?:

Akebono pads are what have for my rear brakes, and planning to use for my fronts, FWIW.

Very quiet, nearly dustless. Didn't notice a change in braking performance (for this situation is a good thing). I do ... um non-spirited driving for sure. Sometimes I get into it, but nothing for more than a hot minute.
