Aftermarket disc brake pads
Anyone have a favorite brand on price or quality?

I don't, but I'm interested in possible alternatives.
For now, I'll stick with the new resin pads from Shimano (L03A), which have come down a few bucks ($28 in my area). They're supposedly longer-lasting than the previous generation and they have the fins... I don't know if I can go without the fins...

We have a lot of hills here, but they're short, I don't weigh much, and I've never felt any brake fade, so fins don't matter much to me.

Jagwire organic (resin) brake pads, $11/pair. It doesn't get cheaper than this. I use them on my mtb and they are quiet and provide plenty of power for XC riding in the dry. If you ride wet a lot, then organic pads will wear out faster.
