I installed Akebono pads and Brembo rotors at 63,000 miles. The first set of pads lasted 163,000 miles (and really could have gone another 10,000), and I currently have 234,000 miles on the rotors with no appreciable wear. And absolutely no dust!.
I have found the Akebonos do not have the initial bite of the OEM pads and require a bit higher pedal pressure, but they are very linear during application and have never exhibited any heat related fade.
