    You don't say what the bike is, how old it is or whether it is for front or rear use. In most cases it doesn't really matter - its down to price vs. performance, try to avoid buying the cheapest eBay ones if you can.

    EBC, SBS, Ferodo, Carbone Lorraine are all very good but I wouldn't rate Goldfren very highly - I had them on an old Transalp and ended up changing the brake lines and other stuff to try and get some bite when I should have just fitted better pads.

    Sintered metallic pads are for fast road/race use and you don't need them unless you REALLY need them if you get my drift.
