I use Hawk pads on my 07 2dr. Strong. quiet, and produce very minimal dust.

Check out JeepSwag. (Forum Vendor) He was running a special on Hawk brake pads, among other things.

I'm using
Akebono ProACt Premium ceramic brakes front and back sets for a 09 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
ACT1273 and ACT1274.

Love them.
No fade, no squeal, no dust. Check them out, the company is OE validated too since they make most OE generic pads. You won't be disappointed.

I went with Wagoner Thermoquiet pads. They are wearing MUCH better than the stock pads, (particularly the rears), perform better, and produce hardly any brake dust. The shims or whatever those gasket like pieces on pads are called, are built into the pad, too, which is kind of neat. I've got 25k on them and have been very happy.
