Not sure on your specific model, but I prefer CM pads whenever I can get them. I've had good luck with Performance Friction pads and cryo treated pads from Carbotech. SM pads will still dust, just not as bad as plain organic.

I like the oem Volvo pads .They make a lot of dust and only last 20k-25K but they will stand the car on it's nose and are so soft the rotors seem to last forever. I still have the original rotors on my 99 S70 with over 150K.
