Default 00 A4 1.8T Avant...best brake pad choice?

What's the consensus on pad choice for a B5 A4 1.8T avant Q?

I'm needing pads on the rear (got 70k out of them) and instead of just doing the rears (the fronts have maybe 25-30k on them) I figure doing all 4 with a fluid change would be my plan of action.

Figuring stock rotors, anyone have any favorite pads?

Default Rotors will be replaced...

Most likely with OEM rotors..but I'll consider some slotted rotors depending on price.

My Peugeot has EBC green stuff pads on it...I like em well enough.

My Miata has Hawk HPS pads. They rock.

But with each car make/model, people have their favorites. Thanks for your and any other replies.

Default Had ebc greens, liked them but they.....

can be noisey, mine were. Since gone to Mintex Reds, I prefer them but you cant go wrong with either. I also have a 00 1.8T Avant, 5 speed.
