Resin Brake Pads....
Are dirty little suckers. Call me weird, but I prefer a metallic brake pad.

Weird.
Not sure what type of pad it was I replaced on my Cannondale Jekyll, but it helped a lot.

I myself ended up using a mixture of both compounds in each caliper. I tried mets in front, orgs in back, and vice versa to try and reduce noise with not much success. With the combo, it actually works in keeping noise down - not sure if one dampens the others vibration under braking or what, but it works.

I've been running Brake Authority Aggressive (sintered) pads and have been real pleased with them. Never have gotten the 'Hayes howl' with them except for a couple very wet days before I got the moisture burned off.

Could you fellas pleas explain what the break pad terms mean?
I've read adds with the Organic, semi organic and sintered.
Seems, from the add I read (trade me (think ebay)) that.
Sintered = crap, wears out disk's, noisy but last a long time.
organic = Good, quiet, wears out fast but does not like water.
semi organic = 1/2 way in between.
sorry, can't find the add right now
Little help

Sintered brake pads are metal. They perform better during heavy, repeated use. Some of the compounds may not grab as well when cold, but this is a trade-off for better high-temperature performance / fade resistance. You can make a metallic pad that works just fine from the first pull.
Organic brake pads, as far as I can tell, can be used to refer to any pad that isn't carbon fiber or metal. Generally a modern organic pad is going to be either kevlar, aramid, or ceramic. They have wildly differing performance characteristics depending on what they are made of and the manufacturer intended them to do. Ceramic make the least dust and noise, but often have slower initial bite.
Carbon fiber pads and rotors should never be used on a bicycle because the performance when cold or wet is awful. However, I'm sure some super-cool roadie is going to win a major event with carbon discs, since it's already been done many times with carbon v-brakes. Trust me: you don't want carbon brakes on your MTB.
