when you say you "used caliper lube" do you mean you lubed the pins? if so, that's good, but isn't for keeping brakes quiet. what you need to do is lube the back side of the pads where they mate with the caliper. also, you could try taking a file to the leading edge of the pads and file down a small 45* angle.
if you are using non-stock pads, make sure they fit snug in the calipers. my metalmasters were too small so i took a tip from this b.b. (tip courtesy of anders??) and pounded the backing a bit to elongate them and get a tighter connection.
