Well, others have mentioned the Pagids, but no one (but me) ever
seems to mention the Repco alternative. I use their Deluxe Organics,
not the MetalMasters. They are slightly less expensive, very quiet,
do not produce dust, and stop me MUCH better than stock pads.

You just have to ask for the Organics, not the Metals.
