Best brake pads?

Time for some TLC on the Tiger.  I noticed this weekend I need brake pads.  Are OEM the best for this job or is another type recommended on my 02?  I definitely need rears and probably need fronts while I'm at it... won't be long on them anyway.  

Thanks in advance.

Mine had Carbone Loraines(spell) fitted when I bought it and they were pretty good, 10k later I replaced them with EBC sintered, what a difference - bit grabby but will certainly stop Tigs in no time :)

+1 on the EBC sintered

You may want to put some penetrating oil on the retaining pin thread and let it soak overnight. Don't ask how I know but the PO really botched mine up!
