What Brake Pads to go with?

Went to the dealer yesterday and the guy told me I needed brakes up front and quoted me at $260 for the job. My car has less than 23k miles, so I don't think that my rotors have gone bad. Perhaps, they just need to be refaced. However, I do need pads and I was wondering what kind of pads have you guys gone with and liked?

I looked at HAWK and CARBOTECH, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
