Serfas,Jagwire,and prolly a couple other aftermarket companies make pads for Avid. A quick Google found Serfas BB7 pads for $8.99.
Aftermarket BB7 pads are all over the place. Aftermarket BB5 pads are a little harder to find where I shop.
As for conditions, I ride 95% pavement, 5% fine gravel MUP. No crazy mud. Lots of stop and go--I probably hit the brakes about twice each mile or so, and tend to brake, rather than coast, to a stop.
