Default Brake Pads - TRW, Raybestos or ATE?

Car: 2013 Audi Q5 Premium Plus 2.0L AWD

I am planning to change Brake Pads on mr Car both Front and Rear Brake Pads. I have always used Brembo & Audi Genuine Brake Pads till now.

Currently TRW, Raybestos and ATE Brake Pads are on Sale on Amazon due to Prime Day and I wanted to understand which of these would be the Best highly engineered and quality Brake Pads similar to Brembo/ Audi Genuine Brake Pads that could be Replaced

Raybestos ( heard some good reviews about this, mix of ceramic and metal compound) - Made in Mexico

ATE Brake Pads - Made in Czech Republic

TRW - Made In Spain

Use Akebono Euro-Ceramic brake pads for your Q5.

I worked in brake design for many years. I recomend to use Akebono ceramic pads. It offers high braking efficiency with high speed and heat, less noise and no dust deposit on wheel rim. And ceramic will not wear out the rotors quick as compared to semi metalic / metalic.
