Default OEM brake Pads Vs. Aftermarket

Ok....I just need some brake pads for now....Should I just go with the OEM or should I get hawk pads. I will only be driving the car daily so I don't need any excessive race pads. Also I have rims, so I don't want too much brake dust. Any recommendations. I have an AP1, I don't really like spending the cash on some BBKs either because i would like to go on vacation soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Majestic Honda in RI (might be a closer location to wherever you are...I think they run three dealerships)

These guys have the best prices for OEM stuff that I have ever seen. I've dealt with them satisfactorily on several occasions.

majestic is best for oem stuff, I changed to EBC Greenstuff pads long ago and still have them, for like 3 years now. No brake dust after 1-2 weeks.
I'm sure you have new pads by now what did you get?

I just went with oem for now. I'm now really tracking the car because winter is coming up.
