Ceramic would be my choice. Remember, semi-metallic needs to be warm for consistent performance, not so for ceramic. They run cooler and typically don't wear fast. Ceramic generally is easier on rotors than semi metallic. Lubrication and pad fitment check needs done on an annual basis to avoid hanging pads like previously experienced.
I like CRC brake grease for pins and pad ears. It resists water washout better than some other brake greases out there. Please don't use anti seize - it can attack the rubber pin bushing in caliper.
Napa will have a ceramic option available, too. They just seem to push semi-metallic first -even if oem was ceramic based.
If time is not a factor on this project, rockauto.com will have multiple options of premium pads at decent prices.
