Smile 2003 Brake Pads question

I have a 2003 Accord LX, 4-door, 4cyl with 55k on it.

1) I'm wondering what type of brake pad I should be using to replace the front brake pad set? Should I use the Genuine Honda brake pads or more expensive one line ceramic brake pad?
2) What type and brand of transmission oil for the car in questions?
Please advice me.
Thank you for you help.

Auto trans?? If so, use Honda ATF fluid.

Brake pads are all different. Factory pads are good, but so are others.
Do any racing? Need stronger brakes but don't care about noise & dust?
Want the brakes to be absolutely quiet but don't care about improving their power?
Want less dust?

Wagner Thermal Quiet is my favorite flavor of brake pad;
Not so hard as to glaze rotors and make squealing noise, yet not so soft that the entire rim gets coated with black dust.
