Brake pad quality

[Belle427]

What these days do you consider a good premium pad for road use?
Many years ago Mintex was the go to for the dogs danglies, but it seems quality isn’t the same now.
I used to go for Pagid but reports suggest these have now gone downhill too.
I see EBC mentioned a lot, don’t know much about them.
No particular car in mind, just wondered what everyone else goes for.

Just road use for me, I believe my 2008 Golf Gti daily currently has Mintex in it which were in it when purchased.
No issues to speak of, just wondered what others favour.
