Remember the KnightRider!
The pads that were on it when I bought it were almost new, and sucked real bad. Horrible cold stopping and mushy pedal. Honestly I don't know what they were, but I replaced with Hawk. I have had more than a few episodes of hard braking from 40-50mph with excellent results. I hammered them pretty hard recently from just under 50mph, early in the morning(cold brakes). I got immediate stopping action, and slowed pretty quick and smooth.
I didn't make any phone calls or analyze any data, I just read about them in a magazine and thought they have to better than what I had. I don't need a new set yet, but I just got a new pair for the next change. I have almost 10k on them now, with probably 40-50% life left. I am no expert, and I haven't tried the other brands you mention, so I can't give a comparison, just my .02
edit: I do get a little bit of squeal but not all the time and not bad.
