Welcome! I've always had great luck with the Honda OEM pads on my 929 (track and street). I hear good things about the Vesrah RJLs for street and track. I'll try a set of those on my gix trackbike when the stockers wear out.
Depends on your intended use, too. If it'll see street miles, don't get racing pads, as they need to get really hot to work properly.

The best price I've seen for the Vesrah RJL pads is Welcome to kurveygirl.com

This much I know. The Galfer Black (street use) pads are thinner brand new than the EBC ones I've had on the bike for about two years. Hmm...
