Brake pads for my Envoy, I need suggestions.

I have an Envoy 2004 SLT, about 45,000 miles on it.
Just had the rotors all turned yesterday but all the pads are good.
I did get the "They won't last till inspection" warning though.
The originals were Raybestos Professional Series.
I just talked to my buddy PJ, who owns a garage, and he said there's cheapos, midgrade, high grade and ceramic.
He said a bunch are noisy and ceramics don't last long, or something.
I have to do all four wheels and he said it'd be about 300 bucks for good pads installed. I thought that was kinda off the map.

So...
I need four sets of good pads that won't be noisy and won't eat my rotors (which are nearly brand new).
Any suggestions? I'm gonna go shopping today and see what I'm looking at. It'd be a big help to know what I'm looking for before I go looking.

I even thought I might go with the OEM pads being they lasted so long?
