Default Brake Pad Options

I'm about to buy some pads for my tiburon and was wondering if anyone had any info on the pads that are available to me. I did read on here that I should stay away from the Albany pads but, what about any of these?

Wearever - Silver or Gold series
Raybesto's
United Brand
Wagner
BrakeBest
Albany

Whats up with the Organic material pads?

I'll have to check out those pads @TireRack.com but the ones I listed are the ones that I can afford and are available here in town. Out of the pads that I listed, any opinions on them??

I have the Raybestos PGP pads. Semi-metallic I've just had them on about a week now. They make more noise than organic styles but they seem to grab better. On a side note they have a red housing and add some color to my otherwise stock brakes. They are about 30 bucks U.S. at Pep Boys.
