+1 or 2 for the Salmon Pads. I have a bike with the Mavic Ceramic rims and one with Aluminum brake tracks. Have used the Koolstop Green Ceramic pads on both rims and found them to have less stopping power than the Salmons on both rims and as mentioned the Greens will wear out your aluminum surfaces faster.
