another simple brake pad question

I have been searching around and it seems that the axxis ultimates seem to be a favorite around here. So I am thinking about getting these but where is a good place to order these for a good price? Also, there seems to be some people who get alot of noise and those who don't is there some kind of installation secret? Also, if there is a a different brake pad that you think will be better performance wise please let me know. By the way I will be using this with the stock brake setup with stock rotors.

Those pads will chew up stock rotors. If your going stock just buy stock pads.

What does everyone think of the ebc greenstuff or redstuff? My rims are gunmetal so the brake dust isn't too much of a worry to me. But what I have read is that the greenstuff brake well, are quiet, and dustless. The Axxis are fairly quiet dust a whole lot but seem to have the best performance and last longer then the ebc pads. From what I have been searching it appears that both seem to work fine with the stock rotors, mine have never been warped so I guess I drive fairly easy on them for the most part but I would prefer to have something that was a little bit better since I am going to replace these regardless. I need to order within the next couple of days so feedback would be much appreciated.

Also, can anyone suggest a good place to order these for the best price?

I use Axxis on stock rotors, my rotors lasted 60kmiles. So I just add the cost of new rotors and pads from here www.buybrakes.com ebc rotors are good here also. I put on ebc reds on my naighbors cars because they dust alot less BUT they don't brake anywhere near the AXXIS. So if dust and rotors isn't a problem go with this set up.
