Default Non OEM Pad Replacement

I'm currently in the market for non-oem pads to finally eliminate the intolerable squeaking of the Lexus brakes. I bought the car with original Lexus pads at 46k miles that squeaked to no end and changed them at 60k to a brand new set of Lexus oem pads and it has made NO DIFFERENCE. Now that the cold weather has hit, the pads not only squeak at low speeds, but on the highway too. It is time for them to go! I've searched greatly through many threads, but haven't been able to see a definite consensus. Several names such as Hawk and Akebono being thrown around as possible alternatives. Which particular pad would entirely eliminate the squeaking while maintaining strong stopping power? Thank you very much in advanced

^Heard good things about those; I personally have StopTech Streets up front and Axxis Ultimates in the rear. Both good pads, but my Axxis Ultimates are the best street/track pads I've ever used. Just waiting on Axxis in Australia to drop ship my back-ordered fronts right now. Never heard any squealing or odd noises from either of these pads.
