I've been using a pair of the silver/grey Eagle Claws pads on a tandem for
several years. They stop fine and they don't chew bits out of the rims...

Yeah, they're great! Got a pair on my rerimmed Ladies Raleigh Sports, and
they came off a set of 600 calipers when I put new brakes on another bike.
Extremely long lasting, don't pick up glass, quiet, no residue. Just the
perfect pad. Might be a little harder than the salmon--but they stop
plenty great in the rain.

Mine are the "universal" Continental style. An ebay shop gets me two pairs
shipped for $12 or so.

Same as the black ones. Not the same as the Salmon ones.

None of the above. The Grey or Silver pads are for "normal" conditions
according to the Kool Stop website.

See:

http://www.koolstop.com/brakes/index...mpletely-14177

and scroll down to "Continemtal."

I bought two pair of the grey Continental pads on eBay, but haven't
had a chance to try them yet as my Salmon Continentals seem to last
forever.

That's been my experience too. The salmon are better but the
black/gray/whatever Kool-stops are the next best thing.
