Default pads

been reading through various threads in 'search', and it's confused me a touch.

come to the conclusion:
- EBC isnt the way togo - redstuff wears the disc more which is to be expected on performance brakes. i cant say im fussed about redstuff.
- dealer pads are a tad overpriced
- ferodo DS pads are good, but do cost a bit.

im toying with the idea of Brakes Int. pads, but no idea what brand they are - i'd only ever touch branded pads.

so, question is:
what brand(s) do BI supply? if it's hit and miss, anyone give a recomendation on OE-quality but non-dealer pads?

only use the car for fast-road - do not plan to use for track-days or similar. as of yet, the current stock brakes havent failed me, so am quite happy to stay with stock quality.
