brake grab and fade

Anyone recomend a good brand of pads and shoes for our trucks that won't fade? And are not too pricey. Looking for value here!

Mine grab pretty good then quickly fade and I have to lean on the peddle pretty hard to stop it all when I am pulling.. These are NAPA one year pads. The more I push the more they fade. Drives my nuts!
I'm not going to replace the whole OEM caliper set up with aftermarket so don't need to go there.

Thanks

Jimmy

Beware of ceramic pads, most wear out rotors instead of the pads.
Which would you rather replace?
I use only Hawk Performance pads.
