Hard on Brakes

I only have a 15 minute commute each way daily, and I rarely ride for recreation otherwise, but I seem to go through brake pads quick. Is this due to the urban nature of my commute and the many stops, including on downhills? Is this because I need to buy "better" brake pads, these seem to get hard over time as well as wear down. Or do I just need to learn to adjust my brakes better, I have had a few that wore unevenly. Any thoughts?
