Better pads ?

Does someone sell some better quality brake shoes? Something that doesn't start squealing after a hundred miles would be nice. I've have been happily using Avenir Sticky fingers, but lots of people here recommend Kool Stops, so I thought I would give salmon Kool Stops a try. On my commuter bike (which sees a lot of stopping in the wet), the salmon Kool Stops are *much* quieter. However, I think the Avenir pads stop a lot better, albeit with a lot of squealing when wet. The Avenirs wear out quickly, ~1000 miles with my usage. I haven't had the Kool Stops on long enough to wear out a set yet. My 2 cents Ken
