Default What brake pads should I use on my 1997 ZR2 Blazer?

So my brake pads up front are starting to squeak and I'm trying to figure out what type of pads I should get. I use it offroad a lot as I live in the mud and dirt. However, I plan on upgrading it to make more than the stock 190 hp so I will need better than organic. I have every type as an option except the carbon ceramic. I have been looking at carbon metallic but they are expensive. Anyone tried experimenting with pads?

The best pads I've ever used were EBC Yellow Stuff, but they're also expensive. Realistically, any "premium" semi-metallic or ceramic pad should be more than sufficient.

I got the slotted and drilled anti rust ones from Amazon. I've noticed an improved in stoping and life span of the pads.
