I'd like to replace them with the salmon Kool Stop shoes/pads.
I don't know which to buy though.

The Mountain salmon, Thinline threaded or the Supra 2 would be good choices. If there is clearance (fork/rim/caliper) I would go with the Mountains since they have a larger contact area and if not either of the others.

+1 to Kool Stop Continentals. And I also use Scott Mathauser pads.

The Jagwire copies of the Weinmann X pattern pads work very well and can be had for $1.50/pair. They're nothing fancy, but they're not quite as butt-ugly as the Continentals.
