Definitely less dust than factory. The dust is a light gray, so doesn't show up as much on silver rims either, but it does show up on black rims., just not as much of it.

I got my pads at Tire Rack. Probably could have gotten them a little cheaper on Amazon but Tire Rack is a Rennlist sponsor so I decided to go with them.

No squeal, but I installed mine with the proper anti-squeal shims. I'm not sure what would happen if you leave them out as some seem to do.
6 months later and I'm still extremely pleased with the dust levels. You'll get a little more as they seat themselves in over the first couple of hundred miles (still less than with factory pads though). It's been over a month in my DD since I cleaned the barrels of the wheels (behind the spokes) during a wash and they still look pretty good and silver, there has been no significant dust build-up.
There is a lot of variation in price from place to place and over time. I'd just recommend a thorough web search for the best prices today... or simply use Tire Rack for a known fair price and good service as Tim recommends.
