Default Stock Brake Pad recommendation, preferrably low dust.

It's becoming a pain to keep the 3 piece wheels clean on the cab. Looks like the pad material used for big reds does not discharge as much brake dust as the standard setup so I am not too worried about the turbo.
I tried PBR metalmasters sometime back, hated them and took them right off. I could not believe how horrible the initial bite and feedback was. That was ofcourse when I didn't have 3 piece wheels . Currently, I need to clean the wheels after every drive or else risk brake dust doing its job on the bolt heads. I feel Jurid, Textar and Pagid in stock compound will all exihibit a lot of dust.
I am curious about other options besides PBR's.
Has anyone tried Hawk, Porterfields or EBC. How are they with feedback compared to stock pads. Are they less dusty or just as bad. All input is greatly appreciated. Car is 100% street driven, aggressively ofcourse .
Regards.
