Avid Mechanical brake pad replacement

I am near the end of the life expectency of the C4 pads that are on my Avid mechs and am looking for replacements. Has anyone tried the YPK,Koolstop,EBC, or Aztec pads?there is not a lot on Mt. Bike Review that I have found other than EBC and Im leaning towards gold. I dont do downhill but go down some steep hills and ride in some nasty conditions. thanks for any advice

I've been running Aztecs with no complaints.

honestly i don't really think there is much difference between the pads you just mentioned, little quality difference as these pads are made relativley quick out of the factories
