After a hard and long search, I went with the AC Delco Duralast. They are AC Delco which is what the OEM ones are, but they are the next one down on the list.. For the OEM ones they wanted 180 for the front, 170 for the rear or vice versa.. I think I ended up paying 170 for both sets... At the Hummer Dealer where I service mine at, they said the ones that I got, is what most go with.. Good enough for me, plus cant afford 350 for brake pads.....

Also if your wheels are'nt black, anything other than ceramic pads will turn your rims black with dust quick.
Over time (again if your wheels are'nt black) this will damage and turn the clear coat of your rims yellow..
Just my .02

To add,, if cost is a concern, as a way to offset the cost of hummer pads, you could always use ceramics up front and cheaper pads out back.
Since most or the bulk of your braking on any car/truck is handled by the front brakes the rears will produce less dust even with cheap pads on the back.

x2 Hawk pads are pretty damn nice for the money. I dont remember which class I had, either light suv or truck/towing. I never had any pad dust on my chrome wheels from them.
My Brembo big brake kit runs about $500/set for pads and $500/rotor. Thats a pretty big nut to swallow.
