from reviews im leaning towards the first one on the link. the sintered H pads. Any other opinions/reasons why i should get one of the other pads?

I'd go with the H Sintered ones too. EBC is the best in the biz when it comes to making pads IMHO. Plus sintered pads are the best for daily driving and all around use.

Got the HH sintered pads installed and used for 2 weeks now. They are very nice. Stop slightly better than the OEM pads (slightly can be a big thing when it comes to e-stops).
