Ok, I have rebuilt the front pass side brake caliper and now I need new pads.

I don't really want to spend more than $40 for the fronts pads. For this price I've seen:

Wagner brand (Thermo Quiet)
Brake Best Ceramic (O'Riley says they are manufactured by Bosch)
Apex Semi-Metalic

These are going on some slotted (not drilled) rotors and are going to be used for street driving (normal weaving in & out of traffic) in the hot Texas sun.

Please, chime in - I'm interested which brake pads would be best.
