I use the stock Toyota pads on my '93 Camry wagon and they work great and wear great.
I put new rotors ($20 cheapos from Pep Boys) and good Toyota pads ($75 from dealer) on the car back in 2000 when the car had 130,000 miles. Car now has 195,000 miles and the brakes still work great and the pads are only worn 2/3 of the way down. A little over 100 bucks...I'd do ot that way again in a heartbeat. I wouldn't experiment with other pads. Just my two cents.
