I know its been asked before and probably been covered a million times in other threads but Im going through brake pads like theres no tomorrow. Think its the end of another set after only half a dozen outings.
So after your suggestions really.
Im currently on standard Shimano 'resin' pads as below
Clicky Resin Pads
Now Ive been looking, so what am i best spending my money on?
Clicky Ceramic C - Black - Low Density
Clicky Ceramic D - Red - High Density
Clicky Organic
Clicky Sintered
Most of my riding is on gritty, muddy and wet moorland (local Pennine Bridleways and the like) with the odd visits to trail centres like Grizedale/llandegla
So whats best?

sintered will last you longer ben!
have heard of guys on here smoking a set of pads on one wet gritty ride! (25-30 miles)
i've used ebay seller Bikefridge for a few bits and bobs and have been very good!
have a look on chainreactioncycles matey, often find them cheaper or the same but with no postage to add on!Timmo.
