Brake pads - axxis vs mintex

--Looking at both Axxis DLX and Mintex Red box brake pads. Looking for quiet and dustless(as much as possible) pads. Not so much into performance right now but equal or better to OEM would be nice. No track here in Vermont. Only in New Hampshire 300 miles away.

Driving impressions? Anyone had both? Which do you like better? Why?

Thanks everyone in advance!

I cannot compare the two you mentioned, but I use the PBR/Axxis Deluxe Organic Pads

http://www.importrp.com/product.php?...&cat=37&page=1

OE feel, absolutely no dust, no squeal, very easy on rotors, not a race pad, just a good street pad, lasts a long time.

They have OE slots for the wear sensors, just a great street pad.

--Through research I have learned that the PBR/Axxis pads do have slots for our wear sensors and the Mintex's don't. I think I'd like that option. The Axxis DLX pads also are very very very minimal dust.
