I sell and install lots of the PBR ceramics.
They work well and make less dust.

I am not sure who the OEM manufacturer is, but there are lots of options out there. A lot of folks go with the Hawk HPS for a very decent street pad. I would suggest that all of the big name brands are going to perform well for street driven cars, it all changes if you decide to track it.
