Morse brake pads & Informative site on brake testing

Last fall I picked up a 2004 9-5 ARC, and wishing to avoid the sorry state of the wheels on my 1999 9-5 (rim portion totally grey/black with dust) I called a site sponsor to inguire which pads would reduce brake dust. Well I was told "Dan Block" pads were the answer, but these not only produce as much dust as OEM, but they squeal like a scalded pig as well. I would not recommend these.
Anyways I called some local auto stores, Autozone has Morse pads, ceramic for $ 45 . Wonder if anyone has used these, if so any comments ?
Also did a search on Morse, and came up with the site below which provides some test info on the different pad materials, and for me answered why Saab uses the metallic compound pad, and also provides test data on the Morse ceramic pad, very good for rotor wear, poor for fade and pedal pressure.
