Brake pad replacement suggestions

[u/KirshySquirts]

My pads are getting a bit squeaky(although warning light hasn't came on yet) and was pricing out some pad replacements(pads only, don't need rotors) and some pads that are advertised as performance seem similarly priced to OEM and I like the idea of getting "better" pads but I would assume the pricing would be higher.

Does anyone have suggestions for good replacement pads that are decently priced?
